AI's Novel Gameplay Spurs Human Creativity and Improvement
A research paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science suggests that the advent of superhuman artificial intelligence has prompted humans to become more creative in game strategies and is responsible for their improvement in play. The study analyzed 5.8 million movements by Go players made over the course of 71 years and found that human decision-making significantly improved following the advent of superhuman AI, associated with greater novelty in human decisions. While humans may not yet declare checkmate in the battle against super intelligent machine games, they are no longer passive pawns thanks to unprecedented insights into winning strategies offered by AI.
