This was tested through a series of games between humans and the artificial intelligence software. The tests paired people with S Sharp in a variety of social scenarios.
Building AI that co-operates with us at human-level.
One of the games humans played against the software is called the prisoner’s dilemma. This classic game shows how two rational people might not co-operate — even if it appears that’s in both their best interests to work together. The other challenge was a sophisticated block-sharing game…
