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.

    I don't want my computer to play classic atari games better than me I want it to make my work easier so I can have more time to play classic atari games, just saying.

    But that's not at all the point of this article. The point of this article is that a computer program learned--in a manner SOMEWHAT analogous to human learning--through practicing how to play certain video games without having any game-specific special programming. AI opponents have existed as long as there have been video games (or close to it) and you're right, if that's what this article was about, it would be be boring. Neural net learning by examining visual output--now that's pretty cool.
