Instilling AI safety into robotics through reinforcement learning - Enterprise IT Watch Blog

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the perfect laughingstock. Any phenomenon that takes itself as seriously as AI is just asking to be ridiculed. What's even funnier is when AI comes in humanoid form, as is the case with the smart robotics that are penetrating every aspect of our lives. As Bill Vorhies discussed in his recent column, robot fails can be comedic gold. As the brains behind autonomous devices, AI can dampen the laughter only by helping devices master their assigned tasks so well and performing them so inconspicuously that we never give them a second thought.
