Understanding how logical agents cooperate or fight, especially in the face of resource scarcity, is a fundamental problem for social scientists. But soon, this problem will also be at the heart of how we understand, control, and cooperate with artificially intelligent agents, and how they work among themselves. Researchers inside of Google's AI DeepMind project wanted to know whether distinct artificial intelligence agents worked together or competed when faced with a problem. Doing this experiment would help scientists understand how our future networks of smart systems may work together. The researchers pitted two AIs against each other in a couple of video games.
