Computers programmed with algorithms intended to mimic neural connections "learned" to recognise cats after being shown a sampling of YouTube videos, Google fellow Jeff Dean and visiting faculty Andrew Ng said in a blog post.
"Our hypothesis was that it would learn to recognise common objects in those videos," the researchers said.
"Indeed, to our amusement, one of our artificial neurons learned to respond strongly to pictures of... cats," they continued.

You mean what it's Googles true motive? No idea... perhaps to spot copyrighted material in the videos, although it already seems to me as if they do that. I uploaded a long documentary video which I had made myself only a few weeks ago, and within literally minutes after I had uploaded it, I had multiple copyright notices. I don't see how they could have known so quickly unless they scanned the video with some sort of advanced recognition technology.
What's the true purpose of it, how will it be used?
