Source: EA's AI Learns How To Play Battlefield 1, And Even They Play The Objective
"EA's deep learning division, Search for Extraordinary Experiences Division (SEED), has made a breakthrough of sorts. The outfit was able to create AI that was smart enough to teach itself to play Battlefield 1's fast and frenetic multiplayer. For real.
EA documented this in a brief video published during the Game Developers Conference (via Gamasutra). This is the regular Battlefield 1 multiplayer experience, but EA did give some of its AI "agents," as they're called, a bit of a hand. As you can see, EA added boxes in the game world that contain ammo and health. Even with that advantage, the AI looks surprisingly smart for having learned everything by trial and error. That being said, EA fully acknowledges that it's not perfect--you'll see a group of AI soldiers running in circles at various points. Whoops."
