DeepMind AI is learning to understand 'thoughts' of others

A new artificial intelligence that is learning to understand the'thoughts' of others has been built by Google-owned research firm DeepMind. The software is capable of predicting what other AIs will do, and can even understand whether they hold'false beliefs' about the world around them. DeepMind reports its bot can now pass a key psychological test that most children only develop the skills for at around age four. Its proficiency in this'theory of mind' test may lead to robots that can think more like humans.
