Google and Its Mutating Smart Software
April 20, 2020
Google announced quantum supremacy. Earlier the online ad company asserted that it would solve death. Yeah.
Now the company has announced YAB or yet another breakthrough, according to “Google Engineers ‘Mutate’ AI to Make It Evolve Systems Faster Than We Can Code Them”:
For years, engineers at Google have been working on a freakishly smart machine learning system known as the AutoML system (or automatic machine learning system), which is already capable of creating AI that outperforms anything we’ve made. Now, researchers have tweaked it to incorporate concepts of Darwinian evolution and shown it can build AI programs that continue to improve upon themselves faster than they would if humans were doing the coding.
You can read about this mutating wonder in “AutoML-Zero: Evolving Machine Learning Algorithms From Scratch.”
DarkCyber assumes that the use of AutoML will allow Google to solve the death thing. However, it may be difficult for the Googler’s method to cope with degrading advertising and increasing infrastructure costs.
