Until now , humans have had one significant reward over computers and robots : We meatbags were the only ones who could teach them how to go . Now , investigator at Washington State University have createdcomputers that can teach other information processing system . And they ’re using Pac - Man to do it . Is nothing sacred ?
Dr. Matthew E. Taylor , prof of Artificial Intelligence at WSU , developed a method that allows a “ instructor ” computer to give advice to a “ student ” figurer in a way that mimics how you might learn a fellow human , except with an algorithm . The whoremaster is in how often the teaching computer turn over pointers — too frequently mean the student is n’t learning , and too sparse makes the learning summons slow .
“ We designed algorithm for advice gift , and we are trying to see out when our advice micturate the enceinte difference,”Taylor says . With the good timing , the “ teacher ” machine was able-bodied to manoeuver the “ student ” car through pick up how to play Pac - Man and a modified version of StarCraft — finally lead to the pupil machine play more skillfully than the teacher . It ’s easygoing to see how this same cognitive operation could apply to something like , I do n’t know , killing all humans .
The implications here are huge . In the future , machine education could , for case , tolerate outmoded factory robot to teach their permutation equipment , no downtime required . Eventually , the retentive - term goal is to create robots that can teach homo .
Just , please . forget the classic videogames for us . When the robots lastly do take over , Pac - Man might be the only quilt we have . [ Washington State UniversityviaScienceDaily ]
