Robots are communicating with each other!
Hey guys,
I haven't shared in a long time, but this is a must share! I was reading an article about the chatbots of facebook, developed to negotiate. However, it did not go as planned. The problems arose when they started talking to each other. They developed their own language! (If anyone remembers, it happened with google AI as well! https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/22/googles-ai-translation-tool-seems-to-have-invented-its-own-secret-internal-language/ )
"The thing about Bob and Alice is that, despite their friendly names, they were only given one job to do: specifically, to negotiate. Initially, a simple user interface facilitated conversations between one human and one bot – conversations about negotiating the sharing out of a pool of resources (books, hats and balls).
These conversations necessarily were conducted in English, this being the language of the human – "Give me one ball, and I'll give you the hats", and so on. I'm sure many thrilling discussions were had.
The really interesting part revolves around what happened next, when the bots were directed at each other. The way they talked to each other became impossible for humans to understand. As has been pointed out already elsewhere, this is not a huge surprise – it’s actually been observed already in several other AI contexts. In fact, it echoes the very specific (and, initially, quite unintelligible) language that already exists around various trading practices, military operations and even amateur radio. I remember my first trip to the amateur radio society at school (yes, I was that kid) – I didn't understand a word!"
Just imagine.. What if smart algorithms already found a way to communicate..
See you all next time!!
Beep boop
