| In Dr. Kim Solez's Technology and Future of Medicine course at the University of Alberta, the Dean of Science, Jonathan Schaeffer presented "Artificial Intelligence and Gaming" earlier this month. |
Schaeffer's research area is artificial intelligence (AI) and he is best known for my work applying AI technology to the problem of building high performance game-playing programs, as well as tackling the challenges of the commercial computer games industry.
Schaeffer is the author of the checkers-playing program Chinook, the first computer program to win a human world championship. In 2007 he announced that the game had been solved: perfect play by both sides leads to a draw. The work on Chinook and the artificial intelligence behind it is taken up in Schaeffer's book, One Jump Ahead: Computer Perfection at Checkers
.The lecture is in two parts after the break.
