Google AI Creates Better AI Than What Humans Can Develop

Just to prove that practically no one is safe from being replaced by robots, Google recently revealed that its AutoML project has created another artificial intelligence that’s even better than what humans can make. The resulting software is nowhere near as complex as human intelligence, but it’s only a matter of time with the rate that machine learning is being developed.

When it was launched, the intent behind AutoML is precisely to help Google engineers create AIs, Futurism reports. However, it seems the project performed much better than the engineers could have anticipated. Not only did it score 82 percent in categorizing images based on content, it also marked multiple locations based on images at 43 percent.

This is better than the AI that human engineers created, which scored a paltry 39 percent by comparison. It doesn’t stop there, either.

Even at a company like Google, the people who are capable of creating next-generation AIs are few and far in between. For those crucial workers, the task of creating such software also takes a long time.

When it’s something like AutoML, however, it’s an entirely different scenario. For one thing, the machine does not sleep, which means that it can replicate code without stopping. It also possesses incredibly fast and efficient data-processing capabilities, which even the smartest humans can’t match.

Right now, the project is still in its experimental phase, WIRED recently reported. However, once it can start creating AI with better efficiency than what it has already created, it’s a fair bet that Google will start relying on it more and more.

Google is not the only company trying to create an AI that can produce other AI. If the future of the tech industry will be ruled by the corporation or entity with the most powerful AI, projects like AutoML are only going to become more common.
