Google's AI Learned to Be "Highly Aggressive" When Stressed - Geek.com

This time, Google's latest machine learning system, DeepMind, has learned to respond to stress with extreme aggression. I dunno about you, but that sounds like we just gave computers a fight or flight response. You may recall DeepMind as the computer that bested human Go players for the first time last years. Now, researchers have been using it to explore the limits of game theory -- a field of psychology that analyzes how people respond to cooperative and competitive opportunities. The team found that when DeepMind suspects that it's about to lose, it will switch to "highly aggressive" tactics to either win or maximize damage to its opponents.
