Why Minecraft Is A Perfect Place For Artificial Intelligence - ARC

Millions of people use the world of Minecraft to bring their 3D visions to life, but Microsoft wants to take the creative utopia to the next level. A blog post by Minecraft's developers Mojang said that Microsoft's Project Malmo platform is now open to the public. The system was previously available to a limited group of computer scientists in a private preview, all of whom had a focus on artificial intelligence. According to Mojang, any developer can use Project Malmo's open source toolset to build artificial intelligence solutions that can be tested in Minecraft. Vast levels of coding experience are not necessary, as the Project Malmo team believes that the system is accessible for novice coders and above.
