The development of this artificial intelligence is a step so that in the future there are technologies capable of performing data analysis based on the environment, just as they do humans

Cat, was the name given to this system by its creators, who belong to Deepmind, an artificial intelligence developer company that was acquired in 2014 by Alphabet, whose main subsidiary is Google.
It is a technology with artificial intelligence that is capable of carrying out up to 604 different activities.
Among its activities are subtitling images describing their content, play different video games like Atari or organize boxes and/or elements in blocks by means of a robotic arm.
This artificial intelligence uses language model technology that are the same systems used in the development of voice assistants such as Alexa or Google, which carry out the directed order by means of a spoken command by the user.
The operation of “Gato” consists of the collection of data grouped into blocks or series of tokens that are subsequently processed with aneural network. This type of network is a computer model that tries to operate in a similar way to how brain neurons do biologically.
With this innovation it is hoped to bring the so-called artificial intelligence closer general, which may be able to learn in a way similar to how humans do to solve problems according to the context or environment.
This is because the forms of artificial intelligence that are currently used in the functioning of social networks, platforms and the Internet of Things, carry out specific activities, that is, they are not programmed to acquire information from the environment.
For example, the AI algorithms used to operate social networks or cloud entertainment services are only capable of displaying posts and content suggestions based on previous searches of its users. What is known as weak artificial intelligence.
It has been given this name because these artificial intelligence systems that are already operating today do not process information with the same learning mechanisms as human brains or other species of animals, which prevents them from carrying out different activities spontaneously.
However, a crucial aspect of Gato is that with the same programming that was built into it, it performs hundreds of different tasks. According to the authors of it “he can perceive and act with different behaviors in a wide variety of environments using a single neural network with the same set of factors”.
According to researchers with the development of this type of general artificial intelligence systems, it is possible to continue training technological agents that are capable of performing a large number of tasks and with a few additional data can optimally develop an even greater number of activities.
