Competition – FruitPunch AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and esports might seem like a strange combination at first but actually they go hand in hand. Games have been used to test and advance AI research for a long time. In 1997 Deep Blue, an AI developed by IBM, beat the world chess champion Kasparov at chess. This was a huge achievement for the field of artificial intelligence and it did not stop there. Recently DeepMind developed an AI that can play Starcraft II, a complex real time strategy game, at human levels which is also a great achievement.
