Gym For Robots

A group headed by Elon Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, has opened a new type of gym called OpenAI Gym. OpenAI Gym is an open online platform for researchers and code writers to test artificial intelligence algorithms. The goal of the gym is to advance digital intelligence in a way that benefits humanity as a whole, without the need to generate financial returns. If an algorithm performs well in the gym, it will receive a reward, but if it fails it will get no reward and must try something different.
