DeepMind Research Finds AI Agents Can Mimic Humans and Other Animals for Social Learning
Google DeepMind successfully demonstrates that AI agents can learn socially through imitation of human and animal behaviors, similar to human skill acquisition processes. In the virtual environment GoalCycle3D, AI agents identified and mimicked expert actions within minutes through reinforcement learning, retaining knowledge. The research explores the role of algorithmic cultural evolution in AI development, potentially promoting the intergenerational transfer of skills within communities. The findings are published in 'Nature Communications', marking a step forward in the development of artificial general intelligence.
