| Artificial Intelligence researchers have for decades worked on building game-playing systems capable of matching wits with the strongest humans in the world. The success of such systems has largely been because of years of knowledge-engineering effort on behalf of the program developers, manually adding application-dependent knowledge to their programs. | Artificial Intelligence researchers have for decades worked on building game-playing systems capable of matching wits with the strongest humans in the world.

| The hope is to take this approach to the next level: to build intelligent software systems that can, given the rules of any game, automatically learn a strategy for playing the game without any human intervention. Artificial Intelligence technology has now matured to the point where this is within realm of possibility, so Stanford University started the General Game-Playing Competition (http://games.stanford.edu) as an initiative to facilitate further research in the area. This is the third year the competition is held. In the first year ClunePlayer, an entry from University of California Los Angeles, won; FluxPlayer (http://www.fluxagent.org/fluxplayer.htm) from Technical University of Dresden is the reigning GGP world-champion after winning last year's competition. This is the first time CADIA, Reykjavik University's AI laboratory, enters the competition. | The hope is to take this approach to the next level: to build intelligent software systems that can, given the rules of any game, automatically learn a strategy for playing the game without any human intervention.
