The new program can not be beaten in a poker game called heads-up limit Texas Hold 'Em, at least in human life team of computer scientists report.
The hidden information and luck, the program is not necessarily to win every hand, explains the scientist Michael Bowling University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, who led the study. But on average, the program is so good that people will have no chance of ever edging in front of him, even if the two played 60 million hands. Thus, "for all purposes that someone ever care about, we decided to play," said Bowling.

When we can get a computer to play tennis or better yet doubles tennis and beat humans then we will have reached the pinnacle in computer intelligence.

Of course, it doesn't actually "feel" anything either. That still puts them at a disadvantage for trying to fill human roles in the future. It is only a robot. Whatever intelligence it has, is artificial.
