It is no surprise that in the United States, the great bulk of money is concentrated at the very top, leading to horrifyingly high rates of poverty and inequality that far exceed those of other ostensibly "wealthy" countries. The existing political structure guarantees that this upward extraction of wealth will continue, but AI researchers have started experimenting with an interesting question: Is machine learning better suited than humans to build a society that allocates resources more fairly?
The answer appears to be yes, at least in the perspective of the study's participants, according to a new publication (read below) from Google's DeepMind researchers that was published in Nature.
In a sequence of trials, a deep neural network was charged with allo...
