Dr. Julius Togelius gave a talk on the challenges of general video game playing at IIIM’s and CADIA’s AI Festival. AI agents have been developed for a large number of games, but being able to play a single game well does not mean that an agent possesses any general intelligence. An agent that plays Pac-Man well could probably not play Super Mario Bros. A human player would, after learning to play 2D arcade games in general, quickly learn the specifics of each game.

Playing to Win: Success of CADIA´s General Game Playing Machine (Video from AI Festival 2014)
Dr. Stephan Schiffel gave a talk on General Game Playing at IIIM’s and CADIA’s AI Festival. In the last decades, Artificial Intelligence was very successful in developing programs that play on par with human experts or even beat them in such complex games as Chess, Checkers, Backgammon or Poker. Why are there still other games we have not solved – for example the board-game Go? The area of General Game Playing tries to bridge the gap between these different games and develop more general solutions. Dr. Schiffel provides a look behind the success of CADIA in this field and discuss how this research is relevant beyond playing games.

Exploiting R&D as Means to Competitive Advantage: A New IP Model
Dr. Kristinn R. Thórisson and Hlynur Halldórsson L.LM. gave a talk on IIIM’s IP model at UT messan and discussed how the institute reaches its targets with this new approach.
Effects of high-tech on product development, services and users in modern society have been substantial and continue to increase. An enormous research and development effort lies behind this development. Granting businesses access to results of basic research, pre-competitive research findings, and prototypes can positively impact their capacity to gain a real competitive advantage in the market.
