AlphaZero and MuZero
Powerful, general AI systems that mastered a range of board games and video games — and are now helping us solve real-world problems.
TL;DR
- AlphaZero mastered chess, shogi, and Go by learning from scratch through self-play and reinforcement learning.
- MuZero achieves similar performance without being explicitly taught game rules, learning a model of its environment.
- AlphaZero and MuZero are crucial steps towards creating general AI systems capable of solving diverse real-world problems.
- Applications include discovering faster algorithms (sorting, hashing, matrix multiplication) and improving video compression for platforms like YouTube.
