The Pentagon's research wing said Friday it was investing USD 2 billion to develop a new generation of artificial intelligence with "human-like communication" skills.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, will use the money to fund around 20 existing and new projects that will push for a new level of machine learning, said the agency's director, Steven Walker, at a press conference near Washington.
"We are making multiple research investments aimed at transforming computers from specialized tools to partners in problem-solving," said Walker, referring to the new generation of machines as "AI Next."
