Abstract

It's humans versus machine at the Rivers casino in Pittsburgh PA. Four professional poker players are squaring up to an artificial intelligence over two weeks, duking it out by playing a total of 80,000 hands of poker for a $100,00 cash prize. This may turn out to be the latest installment in a grand tradition of computers beating human at their own games. In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue computer famously beatchess great Garry Kasparov.
