AI software learns to write its own code

Boston-based AI startup Gamalon is launching two new products based on the innovative technology, MIT's Technology Review reported today. The company has developed a technique that gives artificial intelligence the ability to write code. It uses a predictive model that's based on probability to work out facts relating to data it's supplied with. The information it gleans from the first stage is then used to create a more optimised version of the model. This powers future runs of the program, enabling more facts to be determined the next time around.
