Why Can't AI Beat Humans at Angry Birds? - The New Stack

For seven years, AI researchers have been struggling with an unusual challenge: shooting cartoon birds at cartoon pigs. An annual competition tests their ability to craft an AI agent that can play the popular video game Angry Birds. This month two researchers posted a paper on arXiv.org It's an example of the kind of weird obstacles that all AI researchers face as they attempt to adapt cutting-edge technologies to some very human endeavors. Teams around the world are tackling much more sophisticated problems, persevering to overcome the obstacles on the path to our shiny technology-enhanced future.
