In the past few years, public intellectuals from Elon Musk to Stephen Hawking have warned that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be one of the most dangerous technologies ever devised. While these warnings of AI’s potential malevolence have been piling up with greater frequency, the emergence of a truly synthetic sentience still seems a long way off. Turns out, that time may be sooner than previously thought. London’s Deep Mind recently published a paper in the scientific journal Nature stating that it has built a neural network that has dynamic external memory. Using a new machine learning method schema called a differentiable neural computer (DNC), Deep Mind’s engineers have created a machine that can take the lessons it’s learned in one problem…
