Imagine a world where machines not only can think, but also give birth to other machines that can think. No, this isn’t a scenario from a science fiction movie, but a reality unfolding in our world today.
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, has advanced rapidly in recent years. But did you know that AI is now capable of creating other AI? Yes, you read that right. AI can now ‘give birth’ to other AI, a phenomenon known as “Child AIs”.
However, this process is not entirely independent. AI that can create other AI are usually built for that purpose and taught how to do so. So, while AI can create other AI, they still need human assistance to initiate this process.
There are two types of learning in AI: Supervised Learning and Unsupervised Learning. In supervised learning, AI can and has learned to create itself. However, unsupervised learning is still a young field, and there hasn’t been any published AI that has learned to create other AI on its own.
For example, Google has built an AI that can create other AI: AutoML. AutoML can develop machine learning algorithms (AI) as effectively as algorithms created by humans.
So, the answer is yes, AI can create other AI. However, it’s important to remember that this is not a simple yes/no situation. There are many nuances and considerations to be made. And like many aspects of AI technology, this question opens the door to many other equally intriguing questions.
With the advancement of this technology, we may be on the verge of a new revolution in how we interact with machines and technology. And who knows what might happen in the future? Perhaps one day, we will live in a world where AI not only creates other AI, but also creates themselves. Imagine that!
