As if we needed it to be easier for Skynet to be created. A team of MIT researchers has created an AI programming language that, they say, makes it easier for novices to start programming artificial intelligence. Not only that, it will help experts further advance the field. The new programming language is called'Gen' and it is detailed in an MIT paper, titled Gen: a general-purpose probabilistic programming system with programmable inference. In their paper, which was revealed at the Programming Language Design and Implementation conference last week, the researchers describe Gen, their new probabilistic-programming system.
