Ever hear of Google DeepMind? So, it’s Google Alphabet’s artificial intelligence, or AI, sector. But they don’t want to keep AI training to themselves. They want you and me to train also. Here are some interesting facts about DeepMind, AI training.
DeepMind had an AI training environment called Labyrinth, just like the 1980s movie. But keep in mind ‘had’. It’s now the DeepMind Lab. It’s on the IT hosting service GitHub. And effective today, anyone can access and train AI systems on DeepMind Lab. Furthermore, anybody can can first create games for DeepMind Lab. Then, they can upload them on GitHub. So if this is your thing, then go ahead and get creative.
It seems like the good people of Google embrace AI training being open to the public. DeepMind co-founder Shane Legg hopes researchers and scientist can come up through breakthroughs. Aleready, DeepMind defeated a human in the strategy game Go. This is a great start for research. But there is another reason Google lets AI training go public. That reason is competition. Consequently, there’s OpenAI. That’s an AI research center, the creation of tech ?billionaire ?Elon Musk. Also, OpenAI created an AI robot that allegedly uses a computer like humans. This robot is Universe. In addition to that, Universe wants gamers’ open permission to include them in game development.
Shane Legg insists competition isn’t the reason DeepMind Lab is now public. But come on. It’s so obvious a 3rd grader can see it. Competition has a lot to do with it. It’s probably not the only reason. But everybody know it’s part of it. But I think DeepMind makes a great move on Google’s part. Artificial intelligence technology is more popular than ever. More people want to learn about AI technology, and should. This is a great way to teach kids about AI. I do believe that part. But how much of this is built on competition?
