Talk:Progress in artificial intelligence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Excuse me, but why are all of these board games listed? There is no explanation for what they are supposed to represent. It is useless information for the article. Contralya (talk) 17:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

The article shows problems that have been solved to varying degrees by artificial intelligence researchers and indicates the level of performance one can achieve with an AI algorithm. Board games are well-defined problems and so are easier to tackle than more open-ended problems (generally speaking). While the results might appear useless to some they have required advances in the theory and practice of AI and are important in that respect. You have to walk before you can run.
