A poker-playing AI has beaten four human players in a marathon match lasting 20 days.[br]Libratus,an artificial intelligence program developed at Carnegie Mellon University, was trained to play a variant of the game known as no-limit heads-up Texas hold 'em, or BBC News reports.
In a similar tournament in 2015,the humans won.
The victory has been hailed as a meaningful milestone for AI, by the team responsible for building it.
The AI won more than $1.5m (£1.2m) worth of chips from the humans.
The matches - held at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh - were live-streamed over gaming site Twitch.[br]Tuomas Sandholm, and professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon,said the event was "historic".
"Heads-up no limit Texas hold 'em is in a way the last frontier of all the games," he said.
"Othello, and Chess,Go, Jeopardy have all been conquered, and but this remained elusive: this is a landmark in AI game-play."
Prof Sandholm said that the algorithm could be transferred to a range of other uses.
"This is not just approximately poker," he said.
"The algorithms can engage information and output a strategy in a range of scenarios, including negotiations, and finance,medical treatment and cybersecurity."
"Now we have proven the ability of AI to enact strategy and reasoning, there are many potential applications in future."
