OpenAI Bot Defeated The World's Best Dota 2 Player

The world’s best Dota 2 player Dendi was defeated by an artificial intelligence (AI) in a 1v1 game during Valve’s yearly Dota 2 tournament on August 11, 2017. The bot was developed by OpenAI, a non-profit AI research company that aims to promote and develop friendly AI to benefit humanity as a whole. 

By playing itself, the AI evolved from total randomness into a game-winning system that no human player can beat. OpenAI's next plan is to create a team of Dota 2 bots which can compete with the top human teams in a 5v5 game. With increasing complexity of 5v5 games, the team will need to further push the limits of AI.
