"Now that DeepMind knows the approach works, it also knows where its AI system lacks information, so it may ask Google to put additional sensors into its data centers to let its software eke out even more efficiency."

Sounds like active learning to me. It's a type of machine learning where a learner pro-actively ask for interesting data points to be labeled so that he can learn more about the system. :)

I think they meant DeepMind as the team itself, not the software.
