13 things you didn't know about Google DeepMind

University of Oxford scientists have teamed up with DeepMind in order to stop artificial intelligent agents learning how to prevent humans from taking full control of them. "If such an agent is operating in real-time under human supervision, now and then it may be necessary for a human operator to press the big red button to prevent the agent from continuing a harmful sequence of actions - harmful either for the agent or for the environment - and lead the agent into a safer situation." "We have proposed a framework to allow a human operator to repeatedly safely interrupt a reinforcement learning agent while making sure the agent will not learn to prevent or induce these interruptions."
