Reply to comment by Aesthetic_tissue_box in [D] We're the Meta AI research team behind CICERO, the first AI agent to achieve human-level performance in the game Diplomacy. We’ll be answering your questions on December 8th starting at 10am PT. Ask us anything! by MetaAI_Official

One of the key challenges of Diplomacy is modeling how people might respond to your actions. We found that approaches used in prior game AI breakthroughs like Go and poker that relied purely on self-play were not able to anticipate "human" behaviors like retaliation. For that reason, a big contribution of our research is developing a way to incorporate human data into self-play, which allows us to find strong policies that also understand how people approach the game. -NB

As someone who isn't an AI specialist, this research was a fascinating read. Even for people not in the field this problem is important and if you get the chance it is worth reading! -AG
