A new study has been published this week which suggests that artificial intelligence can now learn “human-level control.” The team of researchers come from Google’s DeepMind, where they’re using Space Invaders – the video game – to show how the search for truly human artificial intelligence isn’t too far off. The machine learns to play the video game, learns to win at the video game, and dominates all humans at the game they’ve created to help us defend our planet against the alien hordes.
It’s like The Last Starfighter – only this time, Google has created a computer that can defeat the invaders. Researchers at DeepMind suggest that Reinforcement Learning is one key to optimizing artificial intelligence.
