San Francisco sources have stated that days after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that artificial intelligence (AI) was the biggest risk; Facebook has shut down one of its AI systems after chatbots started speaking in their own language defying the codes provided. Meanwhile according to a report in Tech Times on Sunday, the social media giant had to pull the plug on the AI system that its researchers were working on "because things got out of hand".
The report stated that the AI did not start shutting down computers worldwide or something of the sort, but it stopped using English and started using a language that it created. Initially the AI agents used English to converse with each other but they later created a new language that only AI systems could understand, thus, defying their purpose.
As per the report using machine learning algorithms, the "dialogue agents" were left to converse freely in an attempt to strengthen their conversational skills and furthermore the researchers also found these bots to be "incredibly crafty negotiators". After learning to negotiate, the bots relied on machine learning and advanced strategies in an attempt to improve the outcome of these negotiations.
