Sony’s AI beats the best racing gamer in Gran Turismo on PlayStation

Sony’s AI is undergoing remarkable innovation and development.

GT Sophy, the AI ​​reformed and developed by Sony, surpassed four of the best gamers and won in the racing game Gran Turismo on PlayStation.

The best thing is that GT Sophy taught himself how to play this game in 2 days. And then it surpassed 95% of the people who played this game and continued to improve in every subsequent week.

Unlike chess or Go, which is played in batches, the racing game Gran Turismo requires players to make judgments, make decisions, and handle cases in real time based on what’s going on. eye. Therefore, to be able to play well, GT Sophy needs to be made in a split second.

Sony further shows that GT Sophy has found the fastest possible way to move among the bends to shorten the time and after each race it learns and shares more solutions on acceleration / deceleration, braking … When meeting obstacles, GT Sophy can switch lanes on its own to overcome.

The fact that GT Sophy beat the top players in Gran Turismo shows that a trained and taught AI can very well surpass the best drivers on a virtual track.

The innovators and developers have made GT Sophy receive information from multiple streams so that it can learn and master the cases of overcoming obstacles and choosing the shortest route, while reducing accidents. This helps Sony’s AI optimize the running time on the track.

According to experts, the achievements achieved by GT Sophy have proved that an AI can learn strategies to work on its own in cases that require very quick judgment and processing skills like racing. This is also a breakthrough that could open up the best computational methods to apply to driverless cars.

Sony also admits that, GT Sophy still has many things to upgrade. One of them is that if there were no collision penalties on this AI track, it would “become significantly more aggressive”.

Racing game is the most advanced profession artificial intelligence wins the best person. Previously, AI also won against humans in many games such as poker, chess, Go, and Starcraft.
