Online gaming is one heck of a cash cow. But computer scientists at the University of Alberta have developed a human-crushing poker bot, that, in the wrong hands, could take over poker, and rake in all the virtual chips.
This week Search Engine introduces you to ‘Polaris’, an artificial intelligence program that could become the undisputed kingpin of poker. Join host (and low-stakes player) Jesse Brown as he asks U of A chief engineer Jonathan Schaeffer, what ‘Polaris’ will mean for the multi-billion dollar online industry.
Then it’s man vs. machine, as Jesse takes on Polaris in a heads-up game of Texas Hold Em’. |
