A EC funded project aimed at improving social competences of virtual agents through artificial consciousness based on the Attention Schema Theory. The goal is to pose the basis for effective collaboration between humans and machines, promoting machines from the status of tools to those of (empathic) partners. The ASTOUND consortium consists of Alien Venture Studio, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, University Medical Centre Hamburg and Ecole Normale Superieure. The ASTOUND project was awarded a EIC Pathfinder grant, under the umbrella of the Horizon Europe programme. This prestigious European funding scheme is dedicated to helping researchers realize an ambitious vision for a new technology with potential to create new markets and/or to address global challenges.
