Ditch humans or cooperate? Google’s DeepMind tests ultimate AI choice with game theory

‘DeepMind, the London-based artificial intelligence unit of Google’s parent Alphabet Inc. has been running a series of simulations aimed at answering a key AI question once and for all: will the robots play nice, or will they try and kill us all?
DeepMind’s latest research is focused on the dichotomy between cooperation and competition, specifically among reward-optimized agents (human or synthetic), in highly variable environments.
While far from deciding humanity’s fate at this point, the information gathered thus far gives us an indication of the extent to which man and machine may cooperate in the near future, on everything from transportation systems to economics.’
