Facebook Shut Down AI After It Invented Its Own Language --

At Google, the team working on the Translate service discovered that the AI they programmed had silently written its own language to aid in translating sentences.


The Translate developers had added a neural network to the system, making it capable of translating between language pairs it had never been taught. The new language the AI silently wrote was a surprise.
There is not enough evidence to claim that these unforeseen AI divergences are a threat or that they could lead to machines taking over operators. They do make development more difficult, however, because people are unable to grasp the overwhelmingly logical nature of the new languages.


In Google’s case, for example, the AI had developed a language that no human could grasp, but was potentially the most efficient known solution to the problem.

A pretty spooky thought: the machines develop their own language, find a viable solution to a problem, and then is unable to communicate the solution in plain human language; "Yes, WATSON has just found a cure for cancer, it just can't tell us what it is in a language we understand..."...

It is interesting the TV series Person Of Interest dealt with the subject of AI independence and an AI's ethical morality all through its five season run; in the show, Harold Finch, a billionaire computer genius, develops an AI (actually an ASI, an artificial super intelligence) for the US government to monitor all human interaction in order to predict acts of terrorism and proactively prevent them form happening. His path to getting his creation, "The Machine" eerily echoes what seems to be starting now with current AIs:



So, if man creates "God", what assurances are there that "God" won't smite us?...
