Machine Learning Software created by Google is replicating itself - Latest Hacking News

Now, Google has declared that AutoML has defeated the human AI engineers at their own game by setting machine-learning software that's more effective and powerful than the best human-designed systems. An AutoML system recently broke a record for classifying perceptions by their content, scoring 82 percent. While that's a relatively simple task, AutoML also beat the single-built system at a more complex task key to autonomous robots and augmented reality: showing the location of multiple objects in an image. For that task, AutoML scored 43 percent versus the individual-built system's 39 percent. These results are important because even at Google, few people have the needed expertise to build next-generation AI systems.
