AI takes on humans in marathon poker game...

An unusual poker game is taking place in Pittsburgh, pitting human players against an artificial intelligence program.

The goal is to see if a computer can beat four of the best players in the variant of poker known as no-limit heads-up Texas hold 'em.

The matches - dubbed Brains v Artificial Intelligence - are being held over 20 days at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh. Full story...
