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…
