Google reveals it is developing a computer so smart it can program ITSELF

Google's secretive artificial intelligence researchers have revealed a computer that they hope will one day be able to program itself. Developers at Google's secretive DeepMind start-up, which it bought for $400 million earlier this year, are attempting to mimic some of the properties of the human brain's short-term working memory. I'm sorry Dave, I can't Google that: HAL, the smart computer from Stanley Kubrick's 2001 moved a step closer today as developers at Google's secretive DeepMind start-up revealed they are attempting to mimic some of the properties of the human brain's short-term working memory. Last week the California tech giant revealed it has has teamed up with two of Oxford University's artificial intelligence teams to help machines better understand users, and improve visual recognition systems using deep learning. Google acquired artificial intelligence firm DeepMind in January The California-based group has teamed up with leading physicist John Martinis to build processors based on quantum theories.
