Google DeepMind introduced a new AI model capable of playing video games not for victory but for cooperation with a human.

The ability of AI to adapt to the human's gameplay style and be a full-fledged partner opens new horizons for entertainment. Perhaps, in the future, our digital companions will be able to adjust to our mood and preferences in games.
