Summary | Dhruv Batra, a researcher in artificial intelligence, read many Facebook posts and tweets describing apocalyptic scenes about the fact that artificial intelligence had invented a new language. Batra wrote an article denouncing how the media portrayed the event. When Facebook programmed two bots to teach them how to negotiate, employees noticed that the bots had invented their own language. The new language was based on English vocabulary; therefore, it was more or less comprehensible. But since the program was not working the way it was supposed to work, workers modified it. They didn't "kill" it, so there is no reason to panick.

Summary | Facebook's bots Bob and Alice were shut down after they created their own language. The new form of communication was more efficient for Bob and Alice, but in creating this new language, they didn't accomplish their task (i.e. learn how to negotiate like humans). Robotics Professor Kevin Warwick thinks we should be careful and not think this is not dangerous.

Summary | Recently Facebook had the biggest anxiety about artificial intelligence come true under their watch: two AI robots started talking to one another in a way that their programmers could not understand. They quickly killed the two robots. Elsewhere AI robots have been caught to lie strategically. They have omitted parts of the truth to get what they wanted in a simple negotiation.
