In the report, researchers at the Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research Lab describe the use of machine learning to negotiate with their "dialogue agents." (And bots seem to be very good at dealing with it.) At one point, the researchers wrote, they had to adjust one of their models, otherwise the bot-to-boat dialogue “developed their language for negotiation, which led to the disagreement from human language to agents. “Instead they had to use the so-called fixed supervised model.

In other words, the model that allowed the two bots to communicate — and to use machine learning to continually redirect strategies for that conversation — led the bots to communicate in their non-human language. If it doesn't surprise you and wonder about the future of machines and humanity, I don't know, look at Blade Runner or anything. Why the New Language? AI agents work on a "reward principle" such as positive reinforcement. They are expected to take some sort of advantage in completing tasks and actions. Speaking English gave them no
