Learning Like Humans: How Reinforcement Learning is Changing AI

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is inspired by how humans and animals learn—through rewards and penalties. Unlike traditional AI methods, RL enables machines to make decisions autonomously, learning from their successes and failures.

From Trial and Error to Mastering Complex Tasks

Imagine a robot navigating a maze. Instead of being explicitly programmed, it tries different paths, learns from mistakes, and eventually finds the optimal route. This is the essence of RL—an AI technique that has powered game-playing bots like AlphaGo and real-world applications like self-driving cars. By continuously improving through feedback, RL is shaping the future of automation, robotics, and even financial markets.

Would a world run by RL-based AI be more efficient, or are there risks we should be aware of?
