AI learns to write its own code by stealing from other programs

OUT of the way, human, I’ve got this covered. A machine learning system has gained the ability to write its own code.

Created by researchers at Microsoft and the University of Cambridge, the system, called DeepCoder, solved basic challenges of the kind set by programming competitions. This kind of approach could make it much easier for people to build simple programs without knowing how to write code.

“All of a sudden people could be so much more productive,” says Armando Solar-Lezama at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who was not involved in the work. “They could build systems that it [would be] impossible to build before.”

Ultimately, the approach could allow non-coders to simply describe an idea for a program and let the system build it, says Marc Brockschmidt, one of DeepCoder’s creators at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK.

DeepCoder uses a technique called program synthesis: creating new programs by piecing together lines of code taken from existing software – just like a programmer might. Given a list of inputs and outputs for each code fragment, DeepCoder learned which pieces of code were needed to achieve the desired result overall.

One advantage of letting an AI loose in this way is that it can ...

Philosophy of artificial intelligence AI

The philosophy of artificial intelligence attempts to answer such questions as follows:^[1]

• Can a machine act intelligently? Can it solve any problem that a person would solve by thinking?
• Are human intelligence and machine intelligence the same? Is the human brain essentially a computer?
• Can a machine have a mind, mental states, and consciousness in the same way that a human being can? Can it feel how things are?

Filosofie umělé inteligence UI

Filosofie umělé inteligence (UI) je odvětví filosofie, které se pokouší odpovědět na otázky jako:^[1]

• Jaká je podstata inteligence? Může stroj plně nahradit uvažování lidské mysli?
• Je podstata počítače a lidského mozku stejná? Jaké metody využívá lidský mozek k vytvoření vědomí (nebo alespoň jeho iluze)?
• Může mít stroj mysl, duševní stavy a vědomí, podobné těm lidským? Může stroj cítit?
