Smart Homes
Rob and I were arguing over this (related thread) just the other day: Smart Houses. Admittedly, these are not quite what we envisaged, but its getting closer. Essentially, the whole place is packed with sensors (in the fridge, blue tack, you name it). From then on the house can detect any fluctuations in your behaviour and adapt to it.

Metropolitan Living Homes
I wouldn't have called it arguing... :-) I am reminded of the reports that came out of the fictional company "Metropolitan Living Homes" that were created as part of the on-line game developed to promote the film "Artificial Intelligence". The houses designed by Martin Swinton and Kate Nei had such advanced AI built into them that they started to develop some psychological disorders that proved fatal for some of the houses and sometimes for their occupants as well. Jeanine Salla was employed as a "sentient machine therapist" to find out what was going wrong -- look for her name in the credits for AI: The Movie. :-) -RoB- |

How About...
"Arguing" is a very theatrical word for it... just trying to get people to click the link ;) No offense intended! Define 'fatal psychological disorder'! It sounds pain-full... but it just goes to show we're not quite ready for all this yet, and after another hundred press releases over the next ten years may acclimatise us :) |

'fatal psychological disorder'
The houses died and sometimes they took their owners with them. The onset of trouble was often indicated by the houses having nightmares. |

Asimov's robotics stories
Sounds a lot like the robot-stories by Asimov in which he explores his "three laws of robotics". I can't remember her name, but he has this character who had a role comparable to the "sentient machine therapist" you mention. These stories are a very interesting read. Jeroen |

Ah....
Her name was Susan Calvin, robopsychologist :). Jeroen |

Already Done Syndrome
Everything's already been done... either in dreams or reality. That's no excuse not to look into it further, you might find it very interesting, or even contribute to the field. I think this is mostly science-fiction anyway, as Rob pointed out. As for where, I've no idea. Whatever's most convenient... |
