Teaching AI to Play Atari Will Help Robots Make Sense of Our World
Google is teaching machines to play Atari games like Space Invaders, Video Pinball, and Breakout. First Games, Then the World Like DeepMind's technology, Osaro's AI engine is based on deep neural networks, the same basic tech that helps identify photos, recognize speech, and translate from one language to another inside Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and other tech giants. And like DeepMind, Osaro applies a second breed of AI called reinforcement learning---algorithms that help machines conquer tasks through repeated trial and error. "Navigating a game space is the first step towards navigating the real world," Nicholson says. A System of Rewards To help machines understand the state of a game---"where's my player, where's the ball, where's the other player," Arel says---Osaro is using recurrent neural networks.
