Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have made a breakthrough in the world of competitive gaming by leveraging the power of reinforcement learning. Their AI system, trained using this technique, has managed to defeat champion Street Fighter players, marking a significant milestone in the realm of AI and gaming. The AI system’s success can be attributed to the decay-based algorithms employed during its training, which allowed it to outperform human players in the game. Beyond gaming, the implications of this research extend far beyond gaming, with the potential to revolutionize various scientific fields, from robotics to autonomous vehicles.
