If we leave environmental data in its original format as much as possible with algorithms that adjust to meet environmental protection goals--environmental compliance becomes much faster and simpler."-Jed Anderson, Creator, Ceres AI ![](/images/posts/latest-news/img-04.gif) MIT creates Automated AI "Curiosity" Algorithms MIT researchers in the last few weeks created a "meta-learning" algorithm that generates its own exploration algorithms. Curiosity is a main driver of intelligence. AI can now begin to learn what a cow looks like because it's curious what a cow looks like . . . not just because it was forced by a human to look at 1,000 pictures of a cow.

"AutoML-Zero is unique because it uses simple mathematical concepts to generate algorithms from scratch and then it selects the best ones and mutates them through a process that's similar to Darwinian evolution."
