AI pokers on Cebit
Well i thought i wouldn’t have something to tell from Cebit. So it was suprising to see Poker related stuff there. The DFKI (Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz GmbH) showed some AI-Poker
You were able to poker against Sam and Max.
The Dealer puts the Cards, who have an RFID-Chip, on the marks on the table. Because of the RFID-Chips both AIs know which Cards are on the table. Pokeralgorithms judge the actions and calculate the value of the hand. Depending on personality and emotional condition they act different and try to bluff.
They played Five Card Draw. The AIs were irritated from time to time and didn’t evaluate the value of their hands and didn’t realize when cards were changed.
So now theres the question if we soon have the best poker players playing against AIs. Like the chesspros play chess against AIs. Since there is no bluffing in chess and you do not always act relational, i guess this would be interesting. Coz the claims are higher i think.
Cebit wasn’t that spectecular this year. Could be because i was just hustling from booth to booth. So it was more work than enjoying the action. Its crazy to be in charge now for our IT-Infratructure and act as an representative of an company and you have to hand out business cards. Now i just need a pimped business card box!
