Microsoft is Using Minecraft to Train AI
April 24, 2016
When Microsoft acquired Mojang in 2014 for $2.5 billion, the idea was for the tech giant to break into mobile gaming with the developer’s massively popular title, Minecraft. Now, researchers at Microsoft are using a new platform called AIX to train an artificial intelligence agent to learn how to climb a hill in the open-world game. The goal is to teach what’s called ‘general intelligence’, the ability to learn lessons from one’s environment and make decisions. In a blog, Microsoft...
