Artificial intelligence losing earlier skills while learning new information is one of the problems researchers work on.

Google Research’s “sleep” approach brings together active periods, when information is taken in, and offline periods, when that information is consolidated. The aim is to make temporary information more lasting while keeping earlier learning.

The “sleep” here is not a biological process. It is a technical training stage run by rules people set. The work was not announced as a product feature offered to all users.
