We recently co-organized a workshop with Google Research and the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague for the 10th annual ICLR machine learning conference. …

Summary UNESCO member countries endorse global rules for ‘ethical AI,’ including clear red lines such as banning the use of AI for social scoring and mass surveillance. At the heart of the recommendation is that governments and companies steer clear of dangerous use cases that threaten human rights. Contributions by Director…

Looking at the advantages of collective learning. A blog from GoodAI CEO Marek Rosa. Summary Question: Why are we studying social learning in multi-agent systems? Answer: Multi-agent systems are made up of agents where each has its own objective. We believe that this leads to learning dynamics that are impossible in…

Summary GoodAI deepens its explorations into evolving AI architectures with a new paper — Bootstrapping of memetic from genetic evolution via inter-agent selection pressures — on patterns of meme transmission within populations of agents. The study traces memetic evolution to understand its interplay with genetic evolution and specifically, whether open-ended learning…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has spread into almost all digital spaces, playing an instrumental role in real-time problem-solving across multiple industries. Robotic Legs, a case study from the EU project introduces AI features into video games. …

Professor Jakob Foerster from the University of Oxford receives an award from the GoodAI Grant program for his research on scalable simulation environments that support the development of cumulative culture. His grant project investigates the minimal environment complexity in which the interaction of multiple learning agents leads to the emergence…

A standalone application has been developed for use in the game Space Engineers. A result of grant work from researchers at Araya, it runs on a hybrid evolutionary algorithm paired with human interaction. The application and source code can be downloaded here. Evolution serves as inspiration for a subset of…

Marek Rosa recently spoke at the Game Developer Session (GDS) conference in Prague. Taking examples from GoodAI’s in-the-works AI Game, he demonstrates the potential of utilizing an AI-driven approach to NPCs. …

Summary Sebastian Risi of IT University of Copenhagen receives a GoodAI grant for his work with neural cellular automata (NCA) to grow neural network policies. Open-ended search methods that will be developed in this project are aligned with methods desirable in GoodAI’s Badger architecture. Risi and GoodAI share the important research…
