Elon Musk's OpenAI And Google's DeepMind Open Their AI Platforms To Researchers

Both Google and OpenAI announced plans to open-source their deep learning code Monday. Elon Musk's OpenAI released Universe, a software platform for measuring and training an AI's general intelligence across games, websites and other applications. Google's parent Alphabet is putting its entire DeepMind Lab training environment codebase on GiftHub, making it easier for anyone to train their own AI systems. DeepMind may have defeated a world champion at the difficult game Go, but to advance its learning further, Alphabet says that AI agents require more detailed environments to help with AI research. The company is opening-sourcing DeepMind Lab to programmers that want to use it.
