Stanford computer scientists say that, with the diverse rules of every game in computers, they are the ideal tools for exploring ideas in artificial intelligence and fresh approaches to programming.
As Michael Genesereth, computer science professor with the Stanford Logic Group, and Nathaniel Love, a computer science doctoral student, in an article on general game playing (GGP), wrote that: "Programs that think better should be able to win more games.”
He added that, the theorem of general game playing is “drastically different” from the past creation of computer programming.
He said that, “the computer just follows a recipe that has been given to it.” AI’s application is limited to this situation because computer never needs to think for itself. According to him, program like IBM’s Deep Blue shows the smarts of the programmer rather than the smarts of the program. Writing program for GGP is similar as trying to educate a child the way how to play a game.
Genesereth said that competitions between GGP programs are an "evaluation technique for intelligent systems.” And, it is feasible to compare the relative intelligence of its system by playing the programs against one another.

Artificial Intelligence is a vital part of gaming. I found this article to be very interesting and insightful. I never really thought about the artificial intelligence involved in a video game, but not I have something to ponder. Thank you.
To defeat Artificial intelligence equip computers would be really hard and it will increase the interest in game too. I would love to play and defeat such computers and will prove the metal of human intelligence.Nice article buddy
It is a very interesting article about the Artificial Intelligence is the Key for Computers Victory.
I never had idea artificial intelligence can be use in gaming.I will be more fun to play with computer who think like human being than a predictable program.
I agree with the statement from Mr.Genesereth, The scope of AI is very limited since computer needs to think very limited..
