DeepMind's new AI chatbot, Sparrow, is being hailed as an important step towards creating safer, less-biased machine learning systems, thanks to its application of reinforcement learning based on input from human research participants for training. The British-owned subsidiary of Google parent company Alphabet says Sparrow is a "dialogue agent that's useful and reduces the risk of unsafe and inappropriate answers." The agent is designed to "talk with a user, answer questions and search the internet using Google when it's helpful to look up evidence to inform its responses."
