p>This makes it easier for an AI to accomplish their task. The Facebook team thinks that even if their AI isn't able to complete all tasks, it can still be useful. They believe that they can move towards an assistant that is useful without needing to be capable "to be successful at every task."

/p>

p>It's still a challenge. Among the difficulties is understanding ordinary language. The Facebook team imagines this request:

/p>

p>PLAYER Create an impressive tower that is 15 blocks high. Then, place a giant smiley on the top. https://www.file-upload.com/z7bnd08rbrfa ASSISTANT :

/p>

p>This fairly simple request requires a remarkable degree of knowledge. The assistant needs to understand the concept of"towers," understand the concept of "tower" and how to construct one, be aware that "15 blocks high" is a measurement of the tower height and be aware of what "15" is. It must also understand the concept of smiley and know how to build it, and what it means to put it on the top.

/p>

p>However, the possibilities for an AI to learn are endless. If Facebook can get enough human help, the assistant might ask humans for help learning.

/p>

p>Facebook has given its sights on developing the AI that can self-improve. One of the most frequent criticisms of AI systems is that they don't develop new tasks beyond those that they have been trained for and for which data is collected and prepared. However, researchers believe that the Minecraft environment is the perfect one to develop this kind of learning.

/p>

p>This is an interesting piece that outlines a goal for Facebook. Of course, it's still in the early stages. The team describes this project as"a "call to arms."

/p>

p>However, a pre-release version of the assistant is available to ordinary users to begin experimenting with. Anyone can download it here.
