AI finally cracks Stratego, the game of hidden information
Original: With most information hidden, the game Stratego had stumped AI–until now
Researchers have built an AI system that beat the best Stratego player in history, doing so on a modest computing budget. Stratego has long resisted artificial intelligence because almost all information on the board is hidden, making it harder for machines than games like chess or Go. Commenters are discussing why imperfect-information games posed such a challenge and what this breakthrough means for AI more broadly.
Why now: An AI beating the best human Stratego player is a notable milestone in imperfect-information game AI, and it was achieved cheaply.
