In January, Libratus, an AI agent, won $1.77 million in a Texas Hold'Em tournament against four professional poker players. Conducted by the computer science department at Carnegie Mellon University, the contest proved machine mastery of game theory. Prior to this experiment, no computer had demonstrated an ability to win in a strategic game with imperfect information. According to The Washington Post, researchers believe that the AI test will have implications across many sectors of our economy. Ultimately, it could be used in a number of situations including, business negotiations, cybersecurity attacks and military operations.
