Marcus Hutter (born April 14, 1967 in Munich) is a professor and artificial intelligence researcher. As a Senior Scientist at DeepMind, he is researching the mathematical foundations of artificial general intelligence.[1] He is on leave from his professorship at the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science of the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia.[2] Hutter studied physics and computer science at the Technical University of Munich. In 2000 he joined Jürgen Schmidhuber's group at the Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sull'Intelligenza Artificiale (Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research) in Manno, Switzerland.[citation needed] He developed a mathematical theory of artificial general intelligence. His book Universal Artificial Intelligence: Sequential Decisions Based on Algorithmic Probability was published by Springer in 2005.[3]

Research

Starting in 2000, Hutter developed and published a mathematical theory of artificial general intelligence, AIXI, based on idealised intelligent agents and reward-motivated reinforcement learning.[4][5]: 399 [6]

In 2005, Hutter and Legg published an intelligence test for artificial intelligence devices.[7]

In 2009, Hutter developed and published the theory of feature reinforcement learning.[8]

In 2014, Lattimore and Hutter published an asymptotically optimal extension of the AIXI agent.[9]

Hutter Prize

Main article: Hutter Prize

In 2006, Hutter announced the Hutter Prize for Lossless Compression of Human Knowledge, with a total of €50,000 in prize money.[10] In 2020, Hutter raised the prize money for the Hutter Prize to €500,000.[11][6]
