Google has released an AI tool capable of replicating itself without human intervention. Google's AutoML artificial intelligence engine has long been capable of creating AI solutions without the support of humans - and it's just completed its biggest challenge to date.... The technology is called AutoML and not only replicates itself but can create an AI virtual child capable of outsmarting young humans. In a paper published in the journal Nature, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University describe how they created a computer program that could mimic any number of different behaviors by using artificial neural networks. It is hoped that this tech will bring AI to those that are not necassirly experts. This example of unsupervised machine learning is another step forward for AI, which comes in a year that saw breakthroughs such as Google's AlphaGo AI success at teaching itself how to beat a Go world champion.
