Dr. Jai N. Gupta pursued a PhD in electrical engineering and mathematical statistics at Purdue University. During his time at the Purdue, Dr. Jai N. Gupta produced academic work that focused on artificial intelligence.
In the past year, artificial intelligence underwent several developments in many areas, such as factory-employable robots, driverless cars, and Wi-Fi-enabled speech-recognizing machines. However, the developments don't stop there. In an interview with Tech Republic, artificial intelligence pundits Kathleen Richardson and Roman Yampolskiy predicted that there will be exponential development in terms of "deep learning" in 2016 and that this will be a particular area of focus.
This prediction received a fulfillment early on into the year as Google unveiled an algorithm that solves one of the toughest artificial challenges in terms of deep learning: beating a human in the ancient game of Go. The game is known for its complexity and contains more possible configurations than there are atoms in the entire universe.
DeepMind, a Google-owned company based in London, created the program called AlphaGo which was able to beat European Go champion Fan Hui five out of five times. Unlike some artificial intelligence systems that have been created for the sole purpose of playing a game, the AlphaGo algorithm is general-purpose and can be used to play many other games.
AlphaGo has yet to challenge world champion Lee Sedol, but a match has been set for March.
