Google's AI software beats humans at writing AI software » Banking Technology

Economists worry that artificial intelligence (AI) could make many workers obsolete. Now, AI researchers could be putting their own jobs at risk. Researchers at Google and elsewhere are writing AI software that's better than humans at writing AI software, reports Light Reading (Banking Technology's sister publication). Researchers at the Google Brain artificial intelligence research group tasked software with designing a machine-learning system to take a test that benchmarks language-processing software. The software-written software beat previously published results for software designed by humans, according to a report this week on the MIT Technology Review.
