Artificial Intelligence Startups Nudge Giants to 'Think Big'

Ronnie Vuine runs a Berlin-based startup that harnesses artificial intelligence for industrial uses – but that doesn't mean he's all business, all the time. His company Micropsi Industries also programmed an A.I. game piece known as D1 "for fun, and because we want to show what's possible," he told Handelsblatt. D1's A.I. "brain" looks a bit like a fire hydrant spraying out countless tiny streams of water. The figure uses trial and error to track down food, Mr. Vuine explained, and each stream represents a different experience.
