ARTIFICIAL INTEL GOES BACKWARDS before the finish line stopping me from winning - Robby Gordon karma
3:27 The Artificial Intelligence is waiting for me at the finish line driving backwards and crashing into me on purpose.
An artificial intelligence has beaten four of the world’s best human drivers on three different tracks in the racing video game Gran Turismo Sport, by gaining ground at the most difficult parts of a track.
The AI, named GT Sophy, was able to execute tactical moves such as using an opponent’s slipstream to boost itself forwards and block its opponents from passing.
Peter Wurman at Sony AI in New York and his colleagues trained the system using deep reinforcement learning, a type of machine learning that uses rewards and penalties to teach the AI’s neural network how to win. During training, GT Sophy, which was running on a separate computer, played the game on up to 20 PlayStation 4 consoles simultaneously.
The team gave the AI the ability to accelerate, brake and steer, along with real-time information on the position of the cars in the game, including its own, and a map of the next 6 seconds of the track, which meant sight of a longer distance ahead when the AI travelled faster. The researchers note this information isn’t available to human players, giving the AI a slight advantage, but say that people have other advantages, such as the ability to change gears manually, which the AI didn’t have.
Wurman and his team rewarded GT Sophy for staying on the course and driving faster, and penalised the AI for veering off course or slowing down. Within a couple of days, the AI learned to complete the tracks faster than 95 per cent of human players, compared with rankings from online leader boards.
Martinsville Speedway is a NASCAR-owned stock car racing short track in Ridgeway, Virginia, just south of Martinsville. At 0.526 miles (847 m) in length, it is the shortest track in the NASCAR Cup Series. The track was also one of the first paved oval tracks in stock car racing, being built in 1947 by partners H. Clay Earles, Henry Lawrence, and Sam Rice, nearly a year before NASCAR was officially formed.[2] It is also the only race track that has been on the NASCAR circuit from its beginning in 1948. Along with this, Martinsville is the only oval track on the NASCAR circuit to have asphalt surfaces on the straightaways and concrete to cover the turns.
