DeepMind Can Now Beat Us at Multiplayer Games, Too

At OpenAI, researchers have trained a robotic hand to manipulate an alphabet block as a child might. At a Google robotics lab, researchers have shown that machines can learn to pick up random items, such as Ping-Pong balls and plastic bananas, and toss them into a bin several feet away. As OpenAI’s system learned to play Dota 2 over several months — more than 45,000 years of game play — it came to rely on tens of thousands of computer chips.
