What game should artificial intelligence take on next?
This week, Google's AlphaGo beat a grandmaster at the complex game Go – an artificial intelligence milestone (see "How victory for Google's Go AI is stoking fear in South Korea", "Machines are teaching themselves to grapple with the real world" and "Humans strike back: How Lee Sedol won a game against AlphaGo"). Here's what the experts say AI's next big challenge should be. No-limit poker: Go represents the ultimate in games where all the information is available to the players. But AI still struggles with games where information is incomplete – like poker, where a player doesn't know what card is coming next. "Computers have beaten the best people at heads-up limit Texas Hold'em, but not yet at no-limit, a much more complicated game," says Peter Stone at the University of Texas at Austin.
