all hail the new robot dawn welcome to
watchmojo.com this list we're looking at
instances where a computerized opponent
bested a human being or a team of people
at a competitive contest or game the
robots in question don't need to have
completely swept a series of games
against humans but there needs to have
been at least some sort of definitive
winning streak in their favor if you
like what you're hearing be sure to

number 10 Watson the first entry on our
list features a computer system that was
actually created with real-life
intellectual combat in mind specifically
an appearance on the iconic TV quiz show
Jeopardy IBM's Watson has grown leaps
and bounds since its inception today
working at high levels in the medical
field but its biggest claim to fame
occurred in 2011 when it won a famous
jeopardy match against two of the show
strongest champions during the second
game of the match the humans rallied and
seemed to have turned the tide but
Watson fought back and ultimately came
out on top
I was nail-biting I mean it was just
intense because these guys were good
number 9 Microsoft speech transcription
ok so maybe there aren't many
multi-million dollar word transcription
leagues out there for competitive office
types oh god please no no no but that
doesn't make this technological
breakthrough any less notable October of
2016 marked the first time when
Microsoft's AI program equaled the error
ratio of a professional team of human
transcription experts we should mention
that the program success rate was only
slightly better than its human
counterparts with the average being more
on the level of human parody than any
sort of blowout still this AI success
story served as a breakthrough when it
came to improving how tools like our
mobile phones understand us on a daily
basis number 8 deep mind Atari do you
remember how it felt when you finally
reach that high score at your favorite
old-school arcade game putting your
initials on the leaderboard for the
entire neighborhood to see
well how about if an artificial
intelligence program could figure out
over a hundred ways to make that
high-score look like beginner's luck
enter google's deepmind technology and
it's absolute dominance over a score of
iconic Atari franchises a 2015 report
boasted how deep mind cleaned up on even
the hardest Atari titles often times
performing at a level superior to nearly
three-quarters of professional human
game testers what a hard figure for
proof deep mind scored a whopping at
nine hundred and ninety nine thousand
nine hundred and ninety points at Miz
pacman beat that one number seven
rubik's cube robots solving a rubik's
cube can take people hours the human
record however actually stands at just
three point four seven seconds held by
china's do you tion that's pretty
impressive but the robots definitely
have us all beat in 2016
german engineer albert beers robot sub
one reloaded solved a Rubik's Cube in
point six three seven seconds that's
fast
definitely best rubik's cube better than
lame two years later even that record
was blown away when MIT engineers let
their robot strutted stuff on the speed
cubing stage their Rubik's contraption
managed to solve the cube in just 0.38
seconds
solving in three two one sure these
robots weren't directly playing against
individuals in this case but it's safe
to say they far outperformed us mere
humans number six
Alibaba and Microsoft reading
comprehension call this next entry a
case of close but no cigar for humans in
2018 competing artificial intelligence
programs developed by Alibaba and
Microsoft both beat out human scores on
a question answering data set by
Stanford University Ali Baba's program
scored eighty two point four four and
Microsoft's eighty two point six five
compared to the human performance at
eighty two point three zero for sure it
may not seem like a big margin but both
companies had plenty to brag about given
how far a AI has come in terms of
reading comprehension the long lasting
effect
could be similar to Microsoft speech
transcription programs in assisting
computers to answer our basic questions
with more clarity and accuracy number
five the Northwestern AI challenge if
there's any sort of comfort to be gained
from these stories it's that sometimes
artificial intelligence can fall into
the same mental pitfalls as humans case
in point the computation model developed
by computer engineers at Northwestern
University that was a natural at visual
problem solving in fact the program was
so adept it aced a group standardized
test known as Ravens progressive
matrices ending up in the 75th
percentile compared to its human
counterparts the silver lining that the
program did tend to miss similar
questions as humans who took the test
although northwestern engineer Ken
forbus was quoted as being hopeful that
future AI would combine the best of
visual recognition and reasoning I need
you close your boots and your motorcycle
number four LeBron US ask anyone who's
watched the world series of poker
tournaments on television this card game
can be big business so it only makes
sense that some sort of supercomputer
would be developed to play Texas Holdem
games with the best of the best
enter Laprade us an AI program that was
born from the success of pouty Coe a
similar program that played against
human competitors back in 2015
LeBron US is an artificial intelligence
program it's software developed by
Professor Thomas an home and lebra's
lives in bridges which is a new kind of
supercomputer we have developed at the
Pittsburgh supercomputing Center LeBron
has followed a similar path in 2017 but
benefited from its enhanced design and
ability to learn from its mistakes the
cream of the poker crop all tried to
take down LeBron us and the a I didn't
win every hand but its lead was
absolutely unstoppable and lebra de
Svensson talked you could speak the
librettist what would you say to it
please stop number three alphago there's
something to be said about knowing when
you're licked this was the case with
Lisette ole one of the world's strongest
and most successful competitive go
players go is one of those ancient games
that's easy to learn
difficult to master especially when
you're playing against a computer
opponent
this was the situations that'll found
himself in back at this 2016 grudge
match against deep mines artificial
intelligence program named alphago said
all did manage to win one game against
alphago but ultimately lost the
best-of-five contest against the program
congratulations to alphago and to the
entire team for a great match he would
announce his retirement in 2019 stating
in part that AI influence in the game
quote could not be defeated number 2 the
open AI massacre okay so we've seen
artificial intelligence BOTS take on the
world of Atari and ancient board games
but what about modern-day eSports
tournaments
well the open ai-5 project answered that
question with their final public
demonstration in 2019 when they
absolutely slaughtered a human team on
the battlefield of dota 2 also known as
Defense of the Ancients the creeps are
on the agent JJ is called an open AI
take Game one the human experts never
had a chance as open AI one match after
match with relative ease so definitive
was the program's win that the
development team decided to change their
focus on AI human cooperation presumably
knowing full well that no real
competition lay out there for their
victorious bot monsters before we

world was paying a lot of attention and
we weren't quite used to that it's
arguably the most famous instance of man
vs. machine of all time a historical
moment that hinted at the vast potential
of AI deep blue was developed by IBM to
play chess with the best eventually
challenging Russian chess master Garry
Kasparov to a series of matches in 1996
deep blue would only win one of this
first best of six challenge but a
rematch a year later saw the program
definitively defeat cus bought off his
head sinks into his body
and you can see he has given up he's
going to lose this game the human
champion was so upset at the loss that
he accused the flu of cheating but the
proof was there in the pudding
and marked the first time when a
computer would defeat a human chess
champion in a tournament setting maybe
he should he should come to grips with
the fact that deep blue can do a lot of
things that he did not think awesome do
