OpenAI Successfully Trains AI to Play Minecraft Almost as Well as Humans

In 2009, an unknown independent game called Minecraft was unleashed, and little did anyone realize just how much of a behemoth it would go on to become. It gained traction fairly quickly, becoming one of the highest grossing video games of the last decade, if not of all time. Pretty much anyone of any age on any modern device can play it. But then there's the question of whether non-humans can get to grips with it. With the advances in AI over the years, it would be interesting to see just how a computer could navigate a digital world, and one team has managed to do just that.
