Summary of Using AI to Create the Perfect Keyboard

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

The YouTube video demonstrates how AI can be used to create an optimized keyboard layout. The AI looks at a data set of 6000 lines of Java code and makes changes to the position of keys based on which keys are used most frequently. The overall goal is to make the keyboard more efficient and reduce the total distance each finger must travel to type a word. The AI-created keyboard is not currently available to the public, but it is an interesting example of how AI can be used to improve the design of everyday objects.

• 00:00:00 This video demonstrates how to use AI to create the perfect keyboard, by calculating the total distance each finger must travel to type a word. The Dvorak keyboard layout was found to be more efficient than the QWERTY layout, though a more accurate test would be to use a larger data set.
• 00:05:00 The video demonstrates how the genetic algorithm can be used to create the perfect keyboard, by taking good traits from both the standard QWERTY keyboard and a more efficient layout, and combining it into one. The process is repeated 10 times, with different keyboards, to create a population of keyboards with increasingly efficient layouts.
• 00:10:00 This video shows how an AI can be used to create the perfect keyboard, based on a data set of 6000 lines of Java code. The AI was successful in positioning the semicolon key closer to the home keys, and in other cases, the position of the key changed significantly depending on the content being typed. The keyboard created by the AI is not currently available to the public, but it is interesting to explore the implications of such a design for typing Standard English.
