An AI learned to use tools after playing 500 million games of hide and seek – Fanatical Futurist by International Keynote Speaker Matthew Griffin

Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. In the early days of life on Earth, biological organisms were exceedingly simple. They were microscopic unicellular creatures with little to no ability to coordinate – a little like me still to be frank, especially after I've been travelling. Yet billions of years of evolution through competition and natural selection led to the complex life forms we have today – as well as complex human intelligence. Researchers at OpenAI, the San Francisco based for-profit AI research lab, are now testing a hypothesis – if you could mimic that kind of competition in a virtual world, would it also give rise to much more sophisticated artificial intelligence?
