An artificial intelligence called Pluribus has emerged victorious from a marathon 12-day poker session during which it played five human professionals at a time. Over 10,000 hands of no-limit Texas hold'em, the most popular form of the game, Pluribus won a virtual $48,000 (£38,000), beating five elite players who were selected each day from a pool who agreed to take on the program. All of the pros had previously won more than $1m playing the game. What counts as a beating for humanity ranks as a milestone for AI. No computer program has ever achieved superhuman performance against multiple poker players. A forerunner of Pluribus named Libratus made its name two years ago by trouncing top human players, but that program only played one-on-one.

It is good news for those people who find making eye contact with strangers uncomfortable. It is not necessary to gaze into someone's eyes while speaking to them, as looking at another part of their face will do just as well. A study using eye-tracking glasses found people can hardly tell the difference when someone is looking at their eyes or their mouth. When 46 people were spoken to by a researcher, they thought he was making eye contact even when he was looking at their lips. Although the person they were talking to barely met their eyes, they enjoyed the conversation just as much.

Billions of dollars and years of study have been poured into research trying to discover if someone is lying or not. Researchers from the University of Rochester are now using data science and an online crowdsourcing framework called ADDR (Automated Dyadic Data Recorder) to further understanding of deception based on facial and verbal cues. By playing an online game, the researchers have already collected 1.3 million frames of facial expressions from 151 pairs of individuals in just a few weeks. 'Basically, our system is like Skype on steroids,' said Tay Sen, a PhD student in the lab. The researchers have two people sign up on Amazon Mechanical Turk.

For millions of successful poker players, the key to outwitting other players often rests in the face. The'poker face' -- a blank expression that never gives away a good or a bad hand -- has become one of the most iconic looks associated with professional poker players. A new artificial intelligence system might change that entirely. In a recent TED Conference talk, Dolby Laboratories chief scientist Poppy Crum detailed the company's new innovation that could see right through someone's expressions. Dolby developed a combined sensor and AI system that can tell whether someone is lying, infatuated, or posed for violence, Crum said at a big ideas TED Conference.

VANCOUVER: Dolby Laboratories chief scientist Poppy Crum tells of a fast-coming time when technology will see right through people no matter how hard they try to hide their feelings. Sensors combined with artificial intelligence can reveal whether someone is lying, infatuated, or poised for violence, Crum detailed at a big ideas TED Conference. "It is the end of the poker face," Crum said. We will know more about each other than we ever have." Eye dilation reveals how hard a brain is working, and heat radiating from the skin signals whether we are stressed or even romantically piqued. The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled can signal how riled up someone, or a crowd, is getting. Micro-expressions and chemicals in breath reveal feelings. The timing of someone's speech can expose whether they are at risk of dementia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or bipolar disorder, according to the neuroscientist. Brain waves can indicate whether someone's attention is elsewhere in a room, regardless of the fact their gaze is locked on the person in front of them. Technology exists to read such cues and, combined with artificial intelligence that can analyze patterns and factor in context, can magnify empathy if used for good or lead to abuses if used to oppress or manipulate, said Crum. "It is really scary on one level, but on another level it is really powerful," Crum said. "We can bridge the emotional divide." She gave examples of a high school counselor being able to tell whether a seemingly cheery student is having a hard time, or police quickly knowing if someone acting bizarrely has a health condition or is criminally violent. One could skip scanning profiles on dating apps and, instead, scan people for genuine interest. Artists would be able to see the emotional reactions people have to their creations. "I realize a lot of people are having a hard time with people sharing our data, or knowing something we didn't want to share," Crum said. "I am not looking to create a world where our inner lives are ripped open, but I am looking to create a world where we can care about each other more effectively." With emotion-reading rooms, smart speakers, or accessories on their way, Crum is keen to see rules in place to make sure benefits are equally available to all while malicious uses are prevented. "It is something people need to realize is here and is going to happen; so let's make it happen in a way we have control over," Crum told AFP. "We will be able to know more about each other than we ever have.

If European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi appears slightly more downbeat at his regular news conference than before, it could foreshadow a possible move by the bank to trim its monetary policy stimulus. That's the conclusion of two Japanese researchers who have used artificial intelligence software to analyze split-second changes in Draghi's facial expressions at his news conferences following policy meetings. The findings follow a similar analysis by the same researchers of Draghi's Japanese counterpart, Haruhiko Kuroda, last year, which claimed to have identified a correlation between patterns in his facial expressions and subsequent policy changes. Yoshiyuki Suimon and Daichi Isami, the paper's authors, think that subtle changes in Draghi's facial expressions could reflect a sense of frustration Draghi might have been feeling before making policy adjustments. Their study covered Draghi's news conference from June 2016 to December 2017 and found signs of "sadness" preceding two recent major policy changes -- when the central bank announced a dovish tapering in December 2016 and another quantitative easing cutback in October last year.
