The people at DeepMind took the same approach as they had with chess and Go: They turned code optimization into a game.The AlphaDev system developed x86 assembly algorithms that treated the ...

It’s useful to have AI come up with a new sorting algorithm; it’s a much bigger deal to build an AI that can learn how to write state-of-the-art code across a variety of tasks, he says.

The AI-generated algorithms are already being used by millions of developers. DeepMind’s run of discoveries in fundamental computer science continues. Last year the company used a version of its ...

Mark Cuban thinks Elon Musk should open up X's algorithm for user feedback. "Unless of course you want to define it by yourself, which is of course your right," Cuban said. The "Shark Tank" star ...

Google’s Bard, a recently launched chatbot, can now write software code, according to an announcement from the tech giant. The move comes as Google tries to play catch-up with OpenAI’s ChatGPT ...

AlphaDev operated at the level of assembly instructions: code generated by automated compilers from code that programmers write in C++, before it is translated into the 1s and 0s of machine code.
