Minecraft becomes an AI training ground
Is there no end to our hubris? As a race that forces robots to hoover our floors, we might think twice about teaching them to navigate a complex world of their own volition, but that's exactly what the team from Microsoft UK are doing with AI in Minecraft. Project AIX is using Minecraft's procedurally generated landscapes to train AI to learn in a changeable world. Currently, the team is asking it to climb to the top of the highest hill it can find. It knows nothing about the world it spawns in.
