We're all doomed, Skynet is coming! [A.I. Playing Videogames]

Thats right, the video above is from an AI playing Pitfall. By itself. And dancing, once he learned how to do finish the screen.

Researchers at the Rutger University, New Jersey, developed an AI that can use a trial-and-error process to learn how to complete tasks. In the video, you can see the AI trying out various actions on the first run, and using the acquired knowledge to complete the level on the second run.

A.I.s playing videogames and dancing. We. Are. Doomed. I'm telling you!
