What does the game playing literature contribute to the wider subject?

  • A.Search, pruning, evaluation and self play techniques used elsewhere
  • B.A complete theory of intelligence applicable to any problem
  • C.Evidence that search is unnecessary for intelligent behaviour
  • D.Methods that apply only within the games in which they arose

Answer: A

Alpha beta, transposition tables, Monte Carlo tree search and self play are all used well outside games, in planning, scheduling and optimisation. No theory of intelligence emerged, search proved indispensable rather than dispensable, and the techniques did transfer even though the competence did not. Distinguishing the transfer of techniques from the transfer of capability is what makes the field's record on games comprehensible.
