Can machines invent things without human help? These AI examples show the answer is 'yes' – RealKM

The question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) can invent is nearly 200 years old, going back to the very beginning of computing. Victorian mathematician Ada Lovelace wrote what's generally considered the first computer program. As she did, she wondered about the limits of what computers could do. The Analytical Engine has no pretensions to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform.
