Elon Musk's OpenAI breaks new ground in AI research - IoT Agenda

At the core of the AI system are two different neural networks -- a vision network and an imitation network. These two work behind the scenes to provide the remarkable capability to imitate human actions, a giant step closer to building true AI systems. A robotic arm repeats the process of picking up blocks and stacking them in a particular configuration. It does this by witnessing just once a simulated demonstration performed by a human using a VR headset. Researchers have used thousands of simulated images to train the vision network.
