Scientists think ‘collective AI’ will resemble Star Trek’s Borg — only nicer (hopefully)

Leading computer scientists have unveiled a vision of “collective AI” that resembles Star Trek species the Borg. Researchers from MIT, Yale, and Loughborough University explained the concept in a study published this week in Nature Machine Intelligence. The paper describes separate AI units continuously acquiring new knowledge and skills. They would then share the information across a network. Together, the collective would turn their insights into mutual benefits. Multiple skills, ideas, and applications would then evolve incrementally. As a result, …
