AutoML-Zero aims to automatically discover computer programs that can solve machine learning tasks, starting from empty or random programs and using only basic math operations.

If this system is not using human bias, who is it choosing what good program is? Surely, human labeling data involves humans adding their bias to the data?

It seems like AlphaGoZero was able to do just end-to-end ML because it was able to use a very clear and "objective" standard, whether a program wins or loses at the game of Go.

Would this approach only deal with similarly unambiguous problems?

Edit: also, AlphaGoZero was one of the most ML ever created (at least at the time of its creation). How much computing resources would this require for more fully general learning? Will there be a limit to such an approach?

Poor data scientists, now whose heads get cut when things go wrong and companies lose billions?

Just a fun note: winning or losing at the game of Go is actually surprisingly subjective:

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

“I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.

“Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.

“I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

“Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

“So that the room will be empty.”

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Autodetect data health issues and auto fix them

Funy you say that cos my company is actually developing something along those lines
