AI Bots Trained For '180 Years Everyday' Defeat Human Dota 2 Players

A research lab named OpenAI, co-founded by Elon Musk, has announced its latest achievement: a team of AI bots that are gunning down human Dota 2 players and winning. OpenAI has been pitching its AI bots against professionals players in 1v1 matches since last year, but such games greatly reduced the actual difficulties of Dota 2. So for the first time, a team of upgraded AI players, 'OpenAI Five,' entered the battleground in 5v5 matchups against amateur Dota 2 human players which requires more coordination and long-term planning. For now, they managed to win the game. However, they are yet to challenge Dota 2's very best players. But the AI agents will be doing so later this year at the Dota 2 world championship, The International 2018. The motivation behind this research is straightforward: a complex video game like Dota exhibits the messiness and continuous nature of the real world.
