Scientists have created a gamer – out of cells, in a lab.
The scientists then watched as the mini-mind quickly taught itself the game and improved the more it practiced.
“That is usually based on our current understanding of information technology, such as silicon computing…
But in truth we don’t really understand how the brain works.”
In other words, this system behaves much more like a real live brain than AI does.
Because DishBrain uses a feedback loop, it seems to get progressively better the more it plays.
The researchers also tried the system on other simple games.
Next up, the team has plans to show DishBrain a good time.
