Angelina, the AI That Makes Games

Artificial intelligence is among the most exciting fields of technology these days. Autonomous cars, voice assistants, facial recognition: all of them and more are an increasing part of our lives. Famous people, from Elon Musk to the late Stephen Hawking, have chimed in concerning the risks associated with machines that literally have a mind of their own. Laws are being passed, often in a hurry, to regulate issues that weren't even on anyone's radar at the start of this decade. The attention currently enjoyed by what used to be an esoteric academic field (when it wasn't the centerpiece of a sci-fi movie) likely began with Apple's release of Siri in 2011, but took a sharp uptick when AlphaGo defeated the world champion at Go, a task previously thought all but impossible.
