Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved into one of the most advanced technologies that can be used in different industries for different things. A decade ago, when enthusiasts first talked about the potential of this technology, many laughed it off as just another fantasy and dreams that would never succeed. As we speak today, countries are trying their best to be the leaders in this area. It is the hottest buzzword in business circles and among governments as it is quickly proving to be a critical lynchpin of the digital transformation and automation that many players are seeking to take advantage of to reduce the cost of doing business and increase effectiveness.

In a recent demonstration of AI capabilities, Google DeepMind AI system AlphaStar rose to the challenge of defeating several top pro video gamers in the Real-Time Strategy game Starcraft II. Starcraft II is a game that involves gathering resources and building military units that battle against another player or players.
