<\/div>AI DEFEAT.<\/strong> AI may be able to best humans at games like Go<\/a> and chess<\/a> and poker<\/a>. But for the cooperative strategy video game DOTA 2, AI still can’t beat the pros<\/a> — at least not yet.<\/p> That’s the major takeaway from The International<\/a>, a tournament for the computer strategy game DOTA 2. During the tournament, research group OpenAI had its OpenAI Five, a team comprising five neural networks, play against professional DOTA 2 players.<\/p> It was a best-of-three competition, but the team from paiN Gaming and an all-star team of pros from China confirmed humanity’s superiority over the AI team in just two matches.<\/p> TWO TOURNEY TWEAKS.<\/strong> It’s not that the AI is bad <\/em>at the game. In fact, back in June, OpenAI Five beat a team <\/a>of five human amateurs at DOTA 2.<\/p> But this match was different in a few significant ways. Previously, each member of the AI team had its own invulnerable courier, a key component of the game that delivers supplies to players. For The International, each team had only one courier to share — the OpenAI Five had just a few days to adjust to that prior to the match.<\/p> Players couldn’t choose their own heroes this time around, either — DOTA 2 experts picked the characters for each player in the tournament, no matter if they were human or AI.<\/p> BACK ON TOP.<\/strong> Though the humans emerged victorious, OpenAI Five did hold its own. Each match lasted between 45 and 51 minutes — the humans didn’t simply destroy the AI team right out the gate. With a bit more time to adjust to the changes from the June match, the AI team might have fared a bit better, too.<\/p> For now, the OpenAI researchers plan to continue to improve the system, so maybe it’ll be ready to bring it in a future rematch.<\/p> READ MORE:<\/strong> AI Isn’t Good Enough to Beat the Best ‘Dota 2’ Players Just Yet<\/a> [Engadget<\/em>]<\/p> More on OpenAI: The Digest: Five AI Algorithms Worked Together to Beat Humans at a Strategy Game<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p> The post AI Couldn’t Beat a Team of Professional Gamers at DOTA 2, but It Held Its Own<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> Go here to read the rest: AI DEFEAT.
