Google's DeepMind division will attempt to make an AI that can play Starcraft II in real time without using the same unfair knowledge and capabilities (such as controlling units that are "off-screen") that Blizzard's own AI use. Blizzard and DeepMind are working on a build of the game that will be "open and available to all researchers next year".

Reported at The Washington Post and The Verge .

    , like running a bot against official servers to try and see if it possesses another human?

    Beg your pardon, but did you mean this? If you did, wouldn't it be more of a daemon than a bot?

    Is this like a comical strawman joke?
