Google AI Creates Its Own Offspring

The most exciting work in artificial intelligence (AI) is happening in the field of machine learning using a technique known as deep learning. This process enables computers to learn by running massive amounts of data through a complex set of algorithms. The system is inspired by the biology of the human brain, and is called a neural network. 

Building these systems requires a team of scientists and engineers who painstakingly design the set of rules and methods necessary to achieve the desired result. With the current AI boom underway, experts with the skills required to create these systems are in short supply, with only an estimated 10,000 people worldwide proficient in the task. 

Scientists at Google, a division of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), have done pioneering work in AI, and wondered if they could build an AI system capable of designing future systems.
