MIT reveals 'killer' AI that learned to beat human players

The fears of a robot uprising are one-step closer to becoming a reality. A video of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros has surfaced and it shows an artificial intelligence (AI) system beating top ranked human players – and without mercy. Researches trained a neural network model by feeding it coordinates of objects in the game, such as players and ledges, and gave it incentives to be sure it would win.
