In June 2021, scientists at the AI lab DeepMind made a controversial claim. The researchers suggested that we could reach artificial general intelligence (AGI) using one single approach: reinforcement ...

Reinforcement-learning algorithms 1,2 are inspired by our understanding of decision making in humans and other animals in which learning is supervised through the use of reward signals in response to ...

David Silver is responsible for several eye-catching demonstrations of artificial intelligence in recent years, working on advances that helped revive interest in the field after the last great AI ...

When it comes to AI, much of the attention has been on deep learning. And for good reason. This part of the AI world has seen great strides, such as with image recognition. But of course, there are ...

Prior deep learning experience (e.g. ELEC_ENG/COMP_ENG 395/495 Deep Learning Foundations from Scratch ) and strong familiarity with the Python programming language. Python will be used for all coding ...

If you walk down the street shouting out the names of every object you see — garbage truck! bicyclist! sycamore tree! — most people would not conclude you are smart. But if you go through an obstacle ...

Machine-learning algorithms find and apply patterns in data. And they pretty much run the world. Machine-learning algorithms are responsible for the vast majority of the artificial intelligence ...

In the 1980s, Andrew Barto and Rich Sutton were considered eccentric devotees to an elegant but ultimately doomed idea—having machines learn, as humans and animals do, from experience. Decades on, ...

AI coding tools are getting better fast. If you don’t work in code, it can be hard to notice how much things are changing, but GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 have made a whole new set of developer tricks ...
