AI vs. human: Are computers destined to beat us in every game?

It has been almost 20 years since Deep Blue famously defeated the world chess champion Garry Kasparov, and one years since Google developed an AI which defeated the world's greatest Go player. Now AI development has seemingly taken a further step in defeating some of the world's greatest players in Super Smash Bros. Melee. As Quartz reports, an AI developed by MIT student Vlad Firoiu was able to defeat some of the best Smash players in the world, representing a new frontier in how AI can develop to beat humans in every game. While the AI did not face the very best players, one of the players who lost admitted that "I am not sure if anyone could beat it." While this accomplishment is impressive, AI still has improvements it can make until it can actually outthink humans in every single game out there.
