Boston-based AI startup Gamalon is launching two new products based on the innovative technology, MIT's Technology Review reported today. The company has developed a technique that gives artificial intelligence the ability to write code. It uses a predictive model that's based on probability to work out facts relating to data it's supplied with. The information it gleans from the first stage is then used to create a more optimised version of the model. This powers future runs of the program, enabling more facts to be determined the next time around.

A number of research organizations are working to create artificial intelligence systems capable of developing machine-learning software. Several research organizations, including Google Brain and DeepMind, are working to create artificial intelligences (AI) that can in turn develop machine-learning software. In many cases, the results coming from machines programming other machines match or exceed work done by humans. If self-programming AI techniques become practical, they could increase the pace at which machine learning is adopted throughout the economy without requiring more machine-learning experts, who already are in short supply. One set of experiments from DeepMind suggests self-teaching methods could alleviate the problem of AI software needing to consume massive amounts of data on a specific task.
