I bet a lot of you played this marble game when you were younger. The labyrinth marble game was developed by\u00a0BRIO\u00a0in Sweden in 1946.\u00a0It was introduced to the United States around 1950. While many take hours to get good at it, the world record (with video proof on the site) is held by Lars-G\u00f6ran Danielsson<\/a> at 15.95 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But an AI called Cyberrunner, which was connected to the marble labyrinth with a camera and servos, trained for just 6 hours and managed to finish with a new world record of 14.48 seconds – almost 10% faster than the current record. During it’s learning, it even discovered cheats to cut the maze (though the new record was set without using any of those illegal shortcuts). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
