Let's Make an AI that Destroys Video Games (LAB) #13

Let's Make an AI that Destroys Video Games (LAB) #13

Season 1 Episode 13 | 13m 6s | CC

Our game is called TrashBlaster, and it’s like Asteroids but with trash in the ocean, and instead of a spaceship John Green Bot is wielding a laser. We'll use machine learning techniques such as an evolutionary neural network alongside a carefully crafted fitness function to create an unstoppable AI.
