Google's neural networks invent their own encryption

quote [ In their experiment, computers were able to make their own form of encryption using machine learning, without being taught specific cryptographic algorithms. The encryption was very basic, especially compared to our current human-designed systems. ]

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

They're probably using it to tell encrypted dick jokes.

The encrypted messages the AI are sending are only 16 bits long. Must be a short dick joke.

I don't think I've seen this before. This is a repost of an article that was posted to fix the fact that its original post was a repost

I searched for "encrypt" and "neural" and didn't come up with anything. The paper was also just submitted 7 days ago.

On looking back on the article though, while I found the subject and its ramifications interesting (combined with steganography, AIs existing and communicating without our knowledge in languages they invent), the article and actual accomplishment aren't that interesting.

I mostly wanted to get my support on record ;)

Yeah, and it's the possible boot-strapping of more and more advanced systems, none of which any human actually understands that I find so interesting. It reminds me of the evolved radio antenna designs that work remarkably well, but we don't really understand why.

I for one welcome cat-based encryption.

Is this different from the post a few doors down?

nope.
