Message from the world’s best StarCraft players to the world’s most advanced AI: bring it on
The space-war computer game is widely regarded as the ultimate challenge for AI programs due to its complexity and rapid pace
MIT Technology Review asked two leading StarCraft players—Byun Hyun Woo and—how they would fare against an AlphaGo-type program
“When you play StarCraft, you have to respond very quickly to lots of uncertainties and variables, but I’ve noticed that AI like AlphaGo isn’t that good at reacting to unexpected scenarios,” Byun says, “It’s still difficult to design AI that is really, really good at both short- and long-term decision-making.”
Lee thinks AI bots could defeat a pro because they never tire and can move much faster than humans
“Machines will overpower humans if the AI consistently levels up its technology to a point that humans can’t follow,” says Lee
