Systems and methods are described for sharing an artificial intelligence personality (AIP) among multiple human interaction entities (HIEs). An AIP is an understanding construct that interacts with one or more humans in a human- or pet-like manner, implementing a variety of communication experiences to support a sense of ongoing social connectedness. HIEs may include robots, robotic pets, toys, and avatars. The system may be implemented using two or more HIEs and, optionally, one or more remote and/or distributed processors to compute AIPs and sequence telecommunications. AIPs are periodically updated primarily based on human interactions sensed by the two or more HIEs. HIEs may continue to operate without interruption in the presence of significant telecommunications delays. The systems may provide two or more users with intuitive machine companions that exhibit an integrated knowledge base and personality cumulatively acquired from all users.
