Atari, once a pioneer in arcade gaming, has become a cornerstone for AI research, especially in reinforcement learning. Here’s how AI intersects with classic Atari games:
🧠 Key Applications of AI in Atari
- Reinforcement Learning: Games like Pong and Breakout were early testbeds for training agents to learn optimal strategies through trial and error.
- Deep Q-Networks (DQN): A breakthrough algorithm that uses neural networks to approximate Q-values, enabling agents to master games like Space Invaders and Ms. Pac-Man.
- Policy Gradients: Optimizing decision-making in real-time games such as Doom and Frogger by directly adjusting policies via gradients.
