Artificial intelligences that play abstract, strategic board games have come a long way, but how do their "brains" work? Hosted by: Hank Green ---------- Support SciShow by becoming a patron...
========== The machines have won. Computers can now defeat humans at pretty
much any game we’ve ever invented. And all because of some clever tricks we’ve
come up with for programming artificial intelligence, or AI. The simplest definition of AI is a computer
program designed to solve a problem. Most programs, including probably all of the
ones letting you watch this video right now, don’t solve problems. Instead, they execute instructions, that they
were given by human programmers. They don’t try to come up with their own
solutions for what they should do to accomplish a task. AIs do try to come up with their own solutions. The smarter an AI is, the more complicated
the problem it can solve. Since the dawn of computer programming, we’ve
been teaching AIs...
