    Poker is the next challenge. The currently best programs are the
    University of Alberta's and a commercial simulator, neither of which
    is able to keep up with a moderately skilled human player. There is
    now, however, a financial incentive for creating better programs:
    internet casinos. There are probably bots playing them already, and
    they can make money because the vast majority of players aren't even
    moderately skilled. But it won't be long before some of them raise
    the bar and start beating the pros.
