Artificial intelligence successfully plays Minecraft

An AI by Google DeepMind has successfully mined diamonds in the open world computer game Minecraft without using human training data. This has been considered a challenge for AI as the task requires many different steps which only offer sparse rewards. Especially the long-term planning required to complete the task has been challenging for AI. The underlying general algorithm has also be used for over 150 other tasks including other games and ro…
