In both games, play continues even if a call is dropped, with a computerized look-alike guided by artificial intelligence stepping seamlessly into the place of the disconnected opponent.
Based on the research of how people solve problems by analogy in the field of psychology and artificial intelligence, the steps involve encoding the source, retrieving the analog, mapping the source solution into the target, and adapting the mapped design.
Mana — and by extension machine learning and artificial intelligence — is just another step in the evolution of technology and automation.
It's part of a much broader strategy to leverage artificial intelligence and stay one step ahead of rivals, as the Pentagon did with guided weapons in the 1990s.
"This is an important step but it is not the endgame of artificial intelligence, it is just a step along the way," he said.
His 1960 paper Steps Toward Artificial Intelligence laid out many of the routes researchers would take in the decades to come.
His published works included Steps Toward Artificial Intelligence (1960), a manifesto that profoundly shaped AI in its earliest days, and Society of Mind (1985), which postulated that the brain is fundamentally an assembly of interacting, specialised, autonomous agents for tasks such as visual processing and knowledge management.
The European Union's executive body, the EC, has taken a first pass at drawing up a strategy to respond to the myriad socio-economic challenges around artificial intelligence technology — including setting out steps intended to boost investment, support education and training, and draw up an ethical and legal framework for steering AI developments by the end of the year.
However, rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology will eventually enable the step-by-step dynamic decision-making based on the situation awareness of supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) and wide area measurement systems (WAMS) in the near future.
Apple is stepping up its artificial intelligence efforts in a bid to keep pace with rivals who have been driving full-throttle down a machine learning-powered AI superhighway, thanks to their liberal attitude to mining user data.
