Assisted Reinforcement Learning is an extension to Reinforcement Learning. ARL allows people and other agents to work with an agent during its learning, critiquing its past actions, informing future actions, and providing additional information about the problem. The aim of Assisted Reinforcement Learning is to create agents that can be taught similarly to how to teach …
Is it unethical NOT to develop AI?
In recent months we have heard big names in science speak out against artificial intelligence. Well-known technologists such as Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX), Steve Wasniak (Apple), and Steven Hawking (The Simpsons) have warned us to tread carefully in the future as the development of AI continues. These big names have warned us that our relentless …
