Engineers are teaching computers how to feel ‘regret’ so they will operate much faster and predict events before they happen.

Researchers are developing programmes which will ask computers to try and do something only for them to be deliberately thwarted.
By understanding the difference between the desired outcome and the reality, the machines will learn a sense of ‘regret’ and how to minimise it.
Computers which experience this will be less likely to make the same mistake in the future and will run more efficiently.
