Google and the AI that creates and selects algorithms that evolve without human intervention.
Hello dear readers!
Artificial intelligence is evolving, it is advancing by leaps and bounds, so much so that when I read about the advances in AI I do not know whether to rejoice or scare me, and that is that man continues his career trying to replicate and overcome human behaviors and actions, seeking to overcome the capabilities of the human being.
Engineers from the Google Brain division, claims to have developed an artificial intelligence based on Darwin's theory, which uses evolution and survival of the fittest.
"While most people were taking baby steps, they took a giant leap into the unknown," says Risto Miikkulainen, a computer scientist at the University of Texas, Austin.
AutoML-Zero (name given to this new version) follows a selection process similar to that proposed by Charles Darwin in his Theory of Evolution.
The engineers explain in the published document everything you need to know about it:
"Human-designed components skew search results in favor of human-designed algorithms, possibly reducing AutoML's innovation potential"
AutoML-Zero randomly picks 100 candidate algorithms and tests them with relatively simple tasks. The best performing algorithms go to a next phase where their code is modified slightly and randomly and then tested again.
At the same time, variants that have been found to be effective are added to the rest of the algorithms. And thus phase after phase until we have a more varied "population" of algorithms and with better capacities to solve the proposed tasks.
This performance follows a pattern similar to that of the survival of the fittest or fittest.
“Our ultimate goal is to actually develop novel machine learning concepts that even researchers could not find,” he says So Quoc Le, a computer scientist at Google.
Now, we must ask ourselves where this technology that practically takes the human being out of the game will take us, logically according to the engineers, there is still a lot of work to be done but they have made a very big leap, a significant advance in the development of this technology.
Let me know your opinion ...
The fact that artificial intelligence can evolve to "improve" without human intervention is something safe for humanity?
Are we advancing to the time of the true autonomy of the machines?

Man, this reminds me of the movie X-Machina, in which the computer is supposed to be like us and evolve as much as possible, but suddenly, it takes over control in the end and turns smarter. Sounds scary to me!
Friend, I was equally impressed, that's why I say I don't know whether to be happy about this or scared.
Well let's hope everything is fine!
The best you can do at this point is grab a popcorn and Soda while you watch what will happen in the world of Artificial intelligence because it is full if uncertainties.
We love to get ourselves into trouble. Gradually, with this a full Artificial intelligence is coming into existence.
The purpose of the AI looks really fascinating and very useful for programming algorithms but do you know this is the beginning of a self improving and self creating AI? Which is the beginning of the fear of AI, Having a mind of its own.
Hello friend @ben-edom, thanks for your comment.
I think so, the man in his effort to overcome his limits is always looking for the unknown, not knowing that many of these things could turn against him at some point.
Yes, I think the same as you, although to be honest I don't think this will be successful, it is what I think.
I have been having this fear for a very long time and it is gradually becoming a reality and that is the ability for artificial intelligence to self evolve without the help of human activity. I truly believe something can be done to make Artificial intelligence less self conscious as it would be better for human existence and livelihood.
I think this is the fear of many, waking up one day and realizing that artificial intelligence has evolved and is in direct competition with its creators.
Saying technology will take out man has been a theoretical issue and many theoretical issues haven't been proven practically and i just hope this remains a theoretical matter for as long as possible.
Friend @frederickbangs, thanks for your comment, I still think that a project like this is very ambitious and it is difficult for it to be successful, however, it is what engineers pursue, to exceed the limits of humanity.
