AI supercomputer creates its own 'AI child' that can outperform man-made rivals

A GOOGLE supercomputer has created an "AI child" which can outperform its man-made rivals. The incredible machine named NASNet becomes smarter through "reinforcement learning" which sees it report back to its "parent" computer when completing tasks. The AI (artificial intelligence), which was created earlier this year, is able to recognise objects such as people and cars while watching real time video. NASNet is controlled by a neural network called AutoML which was created by humans at Google Brain. The parent AI teaches its offspring to do specific tasks which are repeated thousands of times.
