Google DeepMind's AI Beats Humans At Even More Computer Games

Posted by samzenpus on from the better-than-ever dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Google DeepMind's learning algorithm has trumped human performance in an even greater range of games from the Atari 2600. The system's performance in classic games for the 80's games console has improved steadily since it was revealed in April last year (video) and a paper released yesterday shows it besting people in 31 titles.

    Computers have been steadily beating humans at more and more games, "real life" ones or not. Yes, this includes Go. Ironically, humans still beat machines at things that any idiot could do, such as walking or talking or seeing. But even those things are they are getting better and better at (and we aren't), enough to beat us at various surveillance things like recognizing people or license plates.

    Humans still beat computers at Calvinball, so there's that.

    Pedantically speaking, computers have been beating humans at videogames since they first appeared in arcades.
