Robots are using AI to train themselves, which isn’t at all terrifying

Researchers at MIT have given robots everything they need to take over the world. A new algorithm called “Estimate, Extrapolate, and Situate (EES)” will soon allow robots to train themselves without human assistance. This robot self-training algorithm might sound handy, but I’m sure it’s going to create quite a stir in the world of robotic doomsayers.

The EES algorithm not only lets the robots train themselves, but it will also allow them to identify weaknesses in their skills. They can...
