DailyDirt: Games Played By Computers

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

Artificial intelligence projects have come a long way with algorithms that can beat some of the best humans at poker and chess and a whole bunch of other games. There are still a few games that people can clearly play better than computers, but that list is getting shorter all the time. Here are just a few bots that are learning how to beat us at our own games. If you'd like to read more awesome and interesting stuff, check out this unrelated (but not entirely random!) Techdirt post.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    that's not a turing test!

    the goalposts for passing turing tests get moved around all the time, but playing a video game doesn't quite cut it for me

    Artificial Intelligence Research Programme

    Step 1 Identify a task that you believe requires "intelligence".

    Step 2 Attempt to build a system that performs the task.

    Step 3a Fail - go to step 1.

    Step 3b succeed continue to step 4

    Step 4 - analyse your system and realise that intelligence was not really required after all - go to step 1.

    Greetings, Professor Falken

    Would you like to play a game? Then let's get some "War Games" references going.

    The French must have really liked the movie War Games.
