AI Develops its Own Language and Problems

February 25, 2019

The rapid pace of artificial intelligence development is not news. For years we have seen these rapid advances on the horizon, but only recently have we reached that tipping point. One of the most interesting recent areas of growth were language, which can become an issue for some professionals. We discovered more from the recent Psychology Today story, “Google and Facebook AI Make New Linguistics Discovery.”

According to the story:

“The researchers found that “the success rates between self-play and paired-play are indistinguishable from each other, strongly implying that a common, shared language emerges as a social convention if and only if we have more than two language users,” and all “that is needed in order for a common language to emerge is a minimum number of agents.”

It’s this independent development of language that has the intelligence community spooked. Some innovators are currently already at overload trying to detect invisible cyber threats.

Is this a problem that authentic AI can solve?
