Artificial Intelligence
Recently Demis Hassabis discussed his work as AI researcher, neuroscientist and video games designer to discuss what is happening at the cutting edge of AI research, including the recent historic AlphaGo match, and its future potential impact on fields such as science and healthcare, and how developing AI may help us better understand the human mind.
Demis Hassabis, Co-Founder and CEO of DeepMind, the world’s leading General Artificial Intelligence (AI) company, which was acquired by Google in 2014 in their largest ever European acquisition.
Along with a detailed breakdown of how DeepMind created AlphaGo, and what it took to beat Lee Sedol, Hassabis shows off some other research bing worked on at the company.
This includes work on having artificial intelligence work in 3D environments. The team re-purposed the Quake Engine
. "We're starting to integrate some of these different things together: deep reinforcement learning with memory and 3D vision perception," Hassabis describes.
"As we take this forward, we're kind of thinking one of our goals over this next year is to [kind of] create a rat-level AI; an AI agent that is capable of doing all of the things a rat can do."
The goal is noteworthy, especially in light of the tremendous advance in artificial general intelligence (AGI) that AlphaGo represents.

The talk was recorded at the Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), a National Science Foundation funded Science and Technology Center focused on the interdisciplinary study of intelligence."We aim to create a new field — the Science and Engineering of Intelligence — by bringing together computer scientists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists to work in close collaboration," states the organization's website. " This new field is dedicated to developing a computationally based understanding of human intelligence and establishing an engineering practice based on that understanding."
