Poker Game – the latest AI conquest

For the last day of this week, I've chosen to play poker with artificial intelligence (AI). Past this metaphorically first sentence, i would like to share with The Information Age a recent post from the MIT Technology Review, another irresistible one, and this time about a most recent AI conquest of a typically human capacity – the card game of Poker. This is a game that involves several human psychological traits that we might think an artificial device would never master. For example, the human ability to read other people's minds would have seemed intractable form an AI perspective; or the ability to induce contradictory beliefs in others, like when the poker players uses the strategy of bluffing. Strategic thinking under uncertainty and imperfect information appears to being conquered by the AI community of computer scientists and software geeks. Or so that is what is claimed in the article below, where a few links to some of the pioneers is well recommended a follow through, as well as the full readership of the paper DeepStack: Expert-Level Artificial Intelligence in No-Limit Poker, that is also provided below in this post, with its abstract description.
