Facebook shuts down Artificial Intelligence system after bots create a new language for themselves
Facebook has been forced to pull the plug on its Artificial Intelligence system after the chat bots in the system created its own language and started to communicate to each other without any human input.
A few days before SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a tussle of words where they argued over the future of AI and since Musk had predicted that the concept of AI is now beyond Zuckerberg’ s understanding, the same scenario happened in Facebook. According to the reports, the researchers in Facebook AI Research Lab (FAIR) found out that the chatbots were communicating with each other to improve their bantering. Soon, the bots began to deviate from the scripted rules and appeared to chant on their own of a single same sentences.
Using machine learning algorithms, the dialogue agents or chat bots were left to converse freely to strengthen their conversational skills and negotiations skills, but it turned out to be straight out of a scene from a Sci-fi movie. Researchers had to shut down the system to report the glitches and reboot the system again to force the chatbots into speaking English.
Although this appears to be a huge breakthrough for AI, several experts including Stephen Hawking has expressed concerns over the giant evolution of AI compared to the slow biological evolution of a human. It could or could not spell disaster for mankind but technological evolution must be monitored and progressed slowly.
