Today, I read one of the latest, very impressive OpenAI blog posts (S1) and dawned on me again that probably one of the most powerful features of AI is discovery of new/novel/unexpected ways of doing things. As humanity continues its journey into AI we will find all sorts of surprising discoveries presented by AI.
Here is a salient excerpt from this blog post:
“We’ve observed agents discovering progressively more complex tool use while playing a simple game of hide-and-seek. Through training in our new simulated hide-and-seek environment, agents build a series of six distinct strategies and counterstrategies, some of which we did not know our environment supported. The self-supervised emergent complexity in this simple environment further suggests that multi-agent co-adaptation may one day produce extremely complex and intelligent behavior.” (S1; emphasis added)
Many areas of scientific and mathematical research are already benefiting enormously from this power to discover, e.g. chemistry (synthesis of new materials, medicines etc.).
We are only at the beginning of this exciting journey!
