After playing Go AI, Google will try to play Starcraft with people. Fear champions

StarCraft II

Google’s artificial intelligence has already won the Go champion twice , which was previously considered the prerogative of man. There are still three games, after which the winner will be known. But now it is clear that Google AI is already not inferior to a person, playing with him at about the same level (or even slightly better).

What will Google AI play after the completion of the “computer - man” championship? “Starcraft, I think, is our next goal,” said Jeff Dean, a spokesman for Google’s research team.

This game can be even harder for the machine than go, since in board games all players see everything that happens on the table / board (with the exception of card games, probably). And in computer games, the actions of the enemy (if it is a strategy) in most cases remain a mystery until a certain point. And experienced players try to hide their actions until the last moment. “You have to watch what happens off-screen,” says Dean.

Here's how two champions play Starcraft:



This means that Google's AI will need to anticipate what the enemy is doing in order to adequately respond to the actions of the "enemy." In addition, you will need to quickly respond to what went off plan. All this will allow to test the next level of capabilities of artificial intelligence.

“In the end, we want to use these abilities to solve global problems,” said Demis Hassabis, founder of Deepmind (Google bought it in 2014, and now, based on the achievements of the purchased company, AI is being developed).
