China’s AI lab just created ‘AI Boy’ - an AI ‘being’ that can build AIs from scratch

Chinese researchers say that this AI system can build AIs from scratch as well as other human engineers, marking a significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence. The team claims that this AI boy can even build AIs faster than human engineers.<br><br> Chinese researchers from the Three Universities Continue AI Research Center have created a powerful AI system called AI Boy. According to the team, this AI can quickly and accurately build AIs from scratch like human engineers. In some cases, it can even do so faster.<br><br> The AI Boy was created through a process called meta-learning, where the AI system is trained on a set of tasks and learns to adapt to new situations and learn from experience. This allows it to generate AIs tailored to specific tasks and applications.<br><br> The research team tested AI Boy by giving it a challenge: create an AI that can classify images in the MNIST dataset. The AI Boy created an AI that achieved an accuracy of over 96%, comparable to the performance of AIs designed by human engineers.<br><br> The researchers claim that AI Boy has several advantages over traditional AI development. Firstly, it can quickly generate AIs for specific tasks, reducing the time and effort required for AI development. Secondly, AI Boy can design AIs that are more efficient and cost-effective.<br><br> However, the researchers also acknowledge that AI Boy has limitations. For instance, it requires large amounts of data and computational resources to function effectively. Additionally, the team notes that AI Boy may not be able to handle complex tasks that require human intuition and creativity.<br><br> The AI Boy project is part of China’s push to become a leader in AI research and development. The country has set ambitious goals for AI adoption and has invested heavily in AI research and development, recognizing the technology's potential to drive economic growth and innovation.
