Ace won 3 out of 5 games against elite players w/ 10 yrs or more of experience, but lost 2 against players.

So, will we see robots playing against humans in the tournaments one day?

“The success of Ace, with its perception system and learning-based control algorithm, suggests that similar techniques could be applied to other areas requiring fast, real-time control and human interaction, such as manufacturing and service robotics, as well as applications across sports, entertainment and safety-critical physical domains.” — lead author and project lead at Sony AI Peter Dürr
