DeepMind: Reward may NOT be enough for AGI — but it’s worth a try

DeepMind has been connected to artificial general intelligence since birth. The lab was launched with a mission to develop AGI, was cofounded by a researcher who coined the term, and has made some compelling advances in the field. It also recently produced a provocative paper on the subject: “Reward is Enough” The study hypothesizes that AGI could be achieved through a single approach: reinforcement learning. This technique provides feedback in the form of a “reward” — a positive number that tells an algorithm that the action it just performed will benefit its goal. The approach has shown promise in programs such…This story continues at The Next Web https://thenextweb.com/news/deepmind-reinforcement-learning-only-one-possible-pathway-to-agi
