Robots Learn (on Their Own) to Lie

More on a story reported earlier: "After 500 generations, 60 percent of the robots had evolved to keep their light off when they found the good resource, hogging it all for themselves." (A briefer story on the topic from a different source was in STR 's Sunday edition). Prediction: Robots and other computers will continue doing things they were never programmed to do and were never expected to do, and this will happen more often and more dramatically as computers and their software become increasingly sophisticated.
