As artificial intelligence become more and more applied to technologies all around us, we have read alot about recruiting tech talent from big tech giants. This companies want to dominate artificial intelligence, something that have been done in the world of technology ever since IBM was the bigest seller on mainframes. We had Microsoft dominating PC industry, Google dominating search engine, Facebook dominating social media. They want the same to happend to artificial intelligence, and right now the bigest player is Google with DeepMind. Tech giants have become very aggresive about recruiting tech talent, because in Silicon Valley the most valuable asset is not the money but the tech talent.

Elon Musk's 1 billion artificial intelligence group wants to build a robot to clean people's houses. OpenAI – which is funded by the billionaire maker of reusable rockets and electric cars – hopes to build a domestic robot as a test of its research into how to build artificial intelligence that won't kill us. Building such a robot isn't just a way of getting rid of household chores, according to a blog entry posted by the nonprofit research group. It would also be a neat way of testing whether or not its work in artificial intelligence is progressing in the right way. Boston Dynamics describes itself as'building dynamic robots and software for human simulation'.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's 1bn non-profit artificial intelligence (AI) research firm OpenAI has announced its major technological goals which include creating a household robot, a natural language processing chatbot and an intelligent agent capable of winning any game. Announced in a blog post on 20 June, the firm says "robotics is a good testbed for many challenges in AI". "OpenAI's mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible," the company says in the blog post authored by Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk. "We're trying to build AI as part of a larger community, and we want to share our plans and capabilities along the way. We're also working to solidify our organisation's governance structure and will share our thoughts on that later this year."

A high-profile artificial intelligence research group backed by Elon Musk said it is developing a robot. OpenAI, which formed in December, said on Monday that it's working on creating an "off-the-shelf" robot that others can manufacture. The idea is to design a robot outside of a corporate umbrella as a way to speed innovation without a financial motive. OpenAI is backed by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in addition to other high-profile technology executives and entrepreneurs, including LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Sam Altman and Jessica Livingston from startup incubator Y Combinator, and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. Artificial intelligence techniques like machine learning, in which algorithms detect patterns by sifting through enormous quantities of data and then act on the findings, have become popular in recent years with companies like Google and Facebook.

Google DeepMind artificial intelligence (AI) technology can play soccer with an ant. The AI technology may be implemented to real products. The DeepMind AI technology is very smart, and earlier this year, DeepMind's AlphaGo system was applauded worldwide for defeating Lee Sedol, who is the strongest human Go player. Lee Sedol has won 18 world titles, but the Go player lost 4 to 1 against the Google AI. The company says the game was watched by about 200 million people.

OpenAI - the artificial-intelligence research nonprofit cochaired by Tesla Motors CEO Musk and Y Combinator President Sam Altman - wants to build a robot for your home. Building a robot, OpenAI's leadership explains in a blog entry on Monday, is a good way to test and refine a machine's ability to learn how to perform common tasks. By "build," the company means taking a current off-the-shelf robot and customizing it to do housework. "More generally, robotics is a good test bed for many challenges in AI," reads the blog entry.

The artificial intelligence from Google's DeepMind Technologies division is impressively versatile, there's no doubt. Late last year, it became the first neural network in history to defeat a professional player at Go, the Chinese board game whose human players had stumped computers for years, by besting world-ranked player Lee Sedol. It has demonstrated a prowess for video games, too -- it taught itself to emerge victorious in 49 different games for the Atari 2600 console and navigate digital 3D-maze called Labyrinth. And now, Google's human-like AI has learned how to play a sport of a different nature: soccer. DeepMind's latest experiment involves teaching an ant-like digital bug to maneuver a soccer ball into a goal.

Soon you could be chatting with your computer about the morning news. An AI has learned to read and answer questions about a news article with unprecedented accuracy. Creating AI systems that can learn in the background from humanity's existing stores of information is one of the big goals of computer science. "Computers don't have the kind of general knowledge and common sense of how the world works [from reading] about things in novels or watch[ing] sitcoms," says Chris Manning at Stanford University. To get a step closer to this, last year, Google's DeepMind team used articles from the Daily Mail website and CNN to help train an algorithm to read and understand a short story.
