Zero AI. You might have noticed Alpha Zero, and now it's succesor Leela Zero. Zero isn't just a name, it's a designation the AI is strictly self taught.

AI are getting arguably stronger, but this new breed specifically only learns from itself. It’s allowed outside interaction but it dosen’t incorporate anything learned there.

The goal is to simply have the AI learn without human bias, without human guidance. It’s already proving smarter than guided taught AI. Self learning AI are here, will humans be needed?

Bonus points: Alpha Zero was made by our favorite Google using only 4 hours of self teaching to beat the competition with years of development.
