“University of Alberta researchers are betting their poker-playing computer program will beat two of the sharpest human professional players in the world and they’re not bluffing — yet.

The developers of the Polaris program have challenged Phil (The Unabomber) Laak and Ali Eslami to 2,000 hands of Texas hold ‘em.

The $50,000 man-versus-machine poker match will not only be fun, it will help test advances in artificial intelligence, said Jonathan Schaeffer, leader of the computer science team that created Polaris.”
