AI Increasingly Uncooperative as it Becomes More Complex

AIs which train on large datasets alongside other AIs are increasingly producing behaviours unintelligible to humans.

There is a growing concern that human-machine cooperation will break down as AI becomes more complex and it develops behaviours amongst itself.

In controlled experiments in popular games such as Chess to Poker to Go, AI develops intricate solutions which are incompatible with human social cues and cognition.

PhD Candidate in Artificial Intelligence at Oxford University, Ravi Hammond, explains why human and AI cooperation is one of the biggest challenges we face.
