#2The article is sparse on details, but the linked MIT news article goes into more depth. Of note, the algorithm was able to win 79% of the games it played. Without textual input, it only won 46%, and a more advanced machine learning algorithm without textual input only won 62%. Pretty cool.

Teaching ultra-intelligent AI Monopoly, though? - guaranteed robot overlords.

#10Does that mean if the program read additional texts on Civilization strategy that it would get even better? How about texts that may be somewhat related but not specific to the game (combat strategy, world history?!...)
