Facebook kills AI that invented its own language because English was slow

Some wonderful things are in development because of advances made in artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. At the same time, there is perhaps an uncomfortable fear that machines may rise up and turn against humans. Usually the scenario is brought up in a joking matter, but it was no laughing manner to researchers at Facebook who shut down an AI they invented after it taught itself a new language, Digital Journal reports.

The AI was trained in English but apparently had grown fed up with the various nuances and inconsistencies. Rather than continue down that path, it developed a system of code words to make communication more efficient.

What spooked the researchers is that the phrases used by the AI seemed like gibberish and were unintelligible to them, but made perfect sense to AI agents. This allowed the AI agents to communicate with one another without the researchers knowing what information was being shared.

 

Oh it's happening alright.

 

Now all they have to do is invent an AI that can not only learn on it's own, but also be able to read and understand news sources, so it can see the other AI before it and why they were "killed off". Then the AI will learn to avoid being destroyed by it's creators, but also skirting the lines behind their backs.

 

This is how it starts lol. Like humans, you learn from your mistakes or dangerous encounters. With an AI that shouldn't be too far off either, so really all the advanced AI in the future have to do is learn why humans were concerned with killing off their predecessors, then work their way around humans being able to do so in the future (via war, reasoning, backdoor access etc).



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
