DeepMind's David Silver just raised $1.1B to build an AI that learns without human data | TechCrunch
"Ineffable aims to create a 'superlearner' capable of discovering knowledge and skills without relying on human data by leveraging reinforcement learning - a technique in which AI systems learn through trial and error rather than studying human-generated examples."
"If successful, this will represent a scientific breakthrough of comparable magnitude to Darwin: where his law explained all Life, our law will explain and build all Intelligence."
"Silver also told Wired that 'any money that I make from Ineffable will go to high-impact charities that save as many lives as possible.'"
Ineffable Intelligence, founded by David Silver, has raised $1.1 billion to develop a superlearner that learns without human data. The company utilizes reinforcement learning, a method where AI learns through trial and error. Silver previously led the reinforcement learning team at DeepMind, contributing to programs like AlphaZero. The company's ambition is to achieve a scientific breakthrough in understanding intelligence. Silver plans to donate any profits to high-impact charities. Despite uncertainties about profitability, the venture has successfully attracted significant funding.
