Al program has beaten humans in poker game
BBC – A poker-playing AI has beaten four human players in a marathon match lasting 20 days.
Libratus, an artificial intelligence program developed at Carnegie Mellon University, was trained to play a variant of the game known as no-limit heads-up Texas hold ’em.
In a similar tournament in 2015, the humans won.
The victory has been hailed as a significant milestone for AI, by the team responsible for building it.
The AI won more than $1.5m (£1.2m) worth of chips from the humans.
