reinforcement learning

Today on The AI Breakdown, NLW looks at new research from Google that shows that reinforcement learning using artificial intelligence rather than human feedback could perform as well as RLHF. Before that on the Brief: the first AI pop singer gets a record deal; an AI-produced covid drug moves to phase 1 trials, and more.
