Yet another sign that the robots are taking over – an AI program developed by Google just beat two professional Starcraft players at their own game.
After spending a week learning how to play the popular sci-fi strategy game, a version of Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence called AlphaStar beat the pros 5-0 in two five-game series.
Developers say Google’s DeepMind actually learns as it plays, and can learn much faster than humans, absorbing over 200 years’ worth of matches in just one week.
Looks like it’s time to call off our robot chess challenge.
