Come and play against an AI agent trained with reinforcement learning on a classic Atari 2600 game, can you beat its score?
AI agents have been able to be trained to successfully achieve superhuman performance on a wide variety of Atari Arcade games from the 1980s. Recently, new techniques have also been successful in far more complex games such as StarCraft, Dota 2 and Grand Turismo 5. However, it still takes a long time and a lot of effort to train these AI agents!
Do you want to find out more about how we train our gaming-AI? Join us for a chat and to play in real time against some of these AI agents and see how they learn differently - and much more slowly - than humans!
