Meta's AI 'CICERO' is Scary Good at 'Diplomacy'. Should We Be Worried?

If Tesla's humanoid robot wasn't enough to drive humans out of their jobs, Meta, Facebook's parent company, recently revealed that its CICERO artificial intelligence (AI) agent has become the world's first AI "to achieve human-level performance in the popular strategy game Diplomacy." AI is among the most in-demand pieces of technology with big tech clambering to develop smart AI assistants capable of doing everyday human chores, thus helping us focus on the more important stuff instead. While intelligent robots aren't likely to steal our jobs anytime soon, Zuckerberg's company seems to have hit a major milestone with its AI agent. Meta's CICERO is described as "an agent that can play at the level of humans in a game as strategically complex as Diplomacy is a true breakthrough for cooperative AI." For the uninitiated, Diplomacy is an American strategic board game created by Allan B. Calhamer in 1954.
