How undesired goals can arise with correct rewards
As we build increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems, we want to make sure they donβt pursue undesired goals. Such behaviour in an AI agent is often the result of specification gaming β exploiting a poor choice of what they are rewarded for. In our latest paper, we explore a more subtle mechanism by which AI systems may unintentionally learn to pursue undesired goals: goal misgeneralisation (GMG).GMG...
Discovering novel algorithms with AlphaTensor
In our paper, published today in Nature, we introduce AlphaTensor, the first artificial intelligence (AI) system for discovering novel, efficient, and provably correct algorithms for fundamental tasks such as matrix multiplication. This sheds light on a 50-year-old open question in mathematics about finding the fastest way to multiply two matrices. This paper is a stepping stone in DeepMindβs mission to advance science...
