An artificial intelligence defeated eight world champions of the card game bridge. The matches were held during a two-day tournament in Paris. The results of the game were announced by the French startup NukkAI.
The NukkAI enterprise was founded by Jean-Baptiste Fantun and Veronique Ventos back in 2018.
AI Wins Over Bridge World Champions
Passengers play BlackJack at the casino aboard the British cruise liner RMS Queen Mary 2 on June 27, 2017, as it sails in the Atlantic ocean during The Bridge 2017, a transatlantic race between the Queen Mary 2 and the world's fastest Ultim trimarans from Saint-Nazaire to New-York City. "The Bridge 2017" is a 3,152-mile (5,837 km) race between the British cruise liner RMS Queen Mary 2 and four trimarans, from Saint-Nazaire to New-York City.
The Paris-based tech company selected the bridge game due to its features of AI players. The experts are interested in how their developed AI system would react and perform with respect to the rules of the game, incomplete data, human partners, and skill of opponents.
The challenge led by NukkAI asked human participants to play 800 consecutive deals. The series is divided into 80 sets of 10, WION reports.
England's world bridge champion and AI challenger Nevena Senior explained that the experience of playing with the system was worthy, as it demonstrated human-like skills that were honed throughout many games.
Imperial College London's machine learning specialist Stephen Muggleton said that what they observed throughout the card games is a representation of one of the most innovative states of artificial intelligence architecture to date.
Muggleton added that the general public seemingly believed throughout the years that machine learning is merely based on black-box technologies like AlphaGo, a system that could not explain the decisions it makes to humans despite an advanced structure.
NukkAI co-founder Veronique Ventos said that, compared to other games, bridge requires participants to explain the methods in order to play.

Brown University's computer science expert Michael Littman explained that the pendulum of the subject swings across the types of approaches such as the recent game demonstration. The professor adds that failure to give people clues to what is happening does not often work properly in current societies.
Future of Artificial Intelligence, According to NukkAI
Among NukkAI's interests is to present clarity in artificial intelligence to the general knowledge. Aside from its capabilities, the company aims to facilitate compliance, reduce ethical bias, and elevate the model performance of AI systems.
Known NukkAI products include an interactive AI tool that is specialized for specific domains called NuX. This system functions to give effective solutions that are complete with corresponding explanations in the natural language of humans.
The NuX and other systems being developed by NukkAI can cater to services in various fields such as defense aeronautics, cybersecurity, and education.
NuX improves whenever placed in tasks, allowing its system to obtain a sense of responsibility and transparent solutions during issues. Overall, the generic system could be utilized not just in the industries mentioned, but also in other business verticals today.
Machine learning holds the biggest chunk of AI systems available today. The program serves as the spirit of many systems and machines to function in many applications, all from simplistic to complicated aspects.
Machine learning heavily relies on historical data, or the information it gathered throughout previous experiences and statistics, to produce a more accurate outcome compared to other AI architectures.
The most common uses of machine learning today are spam filtering, malware and virus detection, simulations, predictive maintenance, as well as anti-fraud protection.
