Google DeepMind's latest AI? So smart it can 'reason' its way around London's Tube ZDNet

Google DeepMind's system is a move closer to the goal of creating a neural network that can navigate something as complex as the London Underground without any human-written programming. Researchers at Google-owned DeepMind in the UK have developed AI that can store knowledge, such as a map, and use it to navigate a system as complicated as London's Underground. Sure, you can already get directions from Google Maps to navigate transport networks, but DeepMind's new system inches it towards the goal of building a neural network that can navigate without any human-written programming, instead using knowledge to work out a route. Its latest efforts combine deep-learning algorithms with a machine equivalent of a human's working memory. We read the Obama Administration's report on artificial intelligence in full.
