However, he admitted that humanity is still far from creating an AI that can pass the Turing test – a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to or indistinguishable from that of a human.Īfter DeepMind's announcement of Gato, The Next Web article said it demonstrates AGI no more than virtual assistants such as Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri, which are already on the market and in people's homes. It can chat, caption images, stack blocks with a real robot arm and even play the 1980s home video game console Atari, DeepMind claims.ĭe Freitas comments came in response to an opinion piece published on The Next Web that said humans alive today won't ever achieve AGI.ĭe Freitas tweeted: 'It's all about scale now! The Game is Over! It's about making these models bigger, safer, compute efficient, faster.' Gato uses a single neural network – a computing system with interconnected nodes that works like nerve cells in the human brain.
Nando de Freitas, a research scientist at DeepMind and machine learning professor at Oxford University, has said 'the game is over' in regards to solving the hardest challenges in the race to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI).ĪGI refers to a machine or program that has the ability to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can, and do so without training.Īccording to De Freitas, the quest for scientists is now scaling up AI programs, such as with more data and computing power, to create an AGI.Įarlier this week, DeepMind unveiled a new AI 'agent' called Gato that can complete 604 different tasks 'across a wide range of environments'.
DeepMind, a British company owned by Google, may be on the verge of achieving human-level artificial intelligence (AI).
