How AI learns from mistakes

AI systems, much like humans, learn and improve through their errors. This process is known as reinforcement learning—a method inspired by how we adapt our actions based on feedback.

Here’s how it works: an AI model is given a goal, like solving a puzzle or playing a game. It tries different actions, some successful and others not. When it fails, it receives a "penalty." When it succeeds, it earns a "reward." Over time, the AI adjusts its behavior to maximize the rewards and minimize mistakes.

For example, think of AlphaGo, the AI that mastered the game of Go. It played millions of matches against itself, refining its strategies after each misstep. This trial-and-error approach is why AI can now perform complex tasks, from diagnosing diseases to driving cars.

The 3 News of the Week

#1 - Google Search Gets Smarter with AI Animations

The AI Story

Ilya Sutskever

Ilya Sutskever is one of the most influential figures in modern AI. As the co-founder and Chief Scientist of OpenAI, he played a pivotal role in developing GPT models—the technology that powers many AI applications today.

Before OpenAI, Sutskever was a key researcher at Google, where he contributed to breakthroughs in deep learning. He co-authored the original paper on the Transformer architecture, which revolutionized natural language processing and became the backbone of cutting-edge AI systems.

His work has reshaped how we interact with technology, making AI smarter, more accessible, and an essential part of our daily lives. Sutskever's vision continues to drive the AI industry forward, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes

RAG in just a few lines of code? We’ve launched a predefined RAG tool on our developer platform, making it easy to bring your data into a Knowledge Graph and interact with it with AI. With a single API call, writer LLMs will intelligently call the RAG tool to chat with your data.

Integrated into Writer’s full-stack platform, it eliminates the need for complex vendor RAG setups, making it quick to build scalable, highly accurate AI workflows just by passing a graph ID of your data as a parameter to your RAG tool.
