An artificial intelligence bot won a marathon 20-day poker game against four of the world’s best players, amassing almost $1.8million in chips.

The computer program named Libratus, developed at Carnegie Mellon University, was playing Heads Up No-Limit Texas Hold’em poker against four professional players - and among its notable achievements was outbluffing the humans.
