Not too long ago an AI was able to beat humans in the chinese game Go - now it advanced to Dota2 1v1. It will not take too long and we will see AI dominate all sorts of games.
Now, even if you are not interested in computer games, this development is huge.
In AI research computer games are used due to the fact that the rules are predictable and comprehensible.
It will take a while until we have an AI capable of making funny jokes or substitute salesmen - but would it be possible for AI to replace a) traders in financial markets (already happening) b) chef de cuisines (just let it make a steak 10000 times) or c) truck drivers (not too different from computer games in a way)? Absolutely!
Question to the community: What would be the best investments for AI? Any crypto currency I should take a look at, before we all lose our jobs to machines?
