Artificial Intelligence System Develops Revolutionary New Computer Algorithms

DeepMind's AlphaDev AI developed sorting and hashing algorithms that provide significant time and energy savings.
AlphaDev built the new algorithms using reinforcement learning by playing a sequence of moves in a game to build an assembly program.
The new algorithms can sort short number sequences up to 70% faster and improve entire computing stacks.
DeepMind submitted the algorithms to the organization that manages C++, and they were added to the language after review.
AlphaDev's innovation improves how assembly programs are represented in AI, allowing for faster, smarter learning.
