AI has mastered the complex game Go, and if you're willing to teach the machines to beat you at Minecraft, too, Microsoft wants your help. Researchers from Project AIX want to use the open-world game to improve its artificial intelligence systems.

"Minecraft is the perfect platform for this kind of research because it's this very open world," says Katja Hofmann from Microsoft's Cambridge labs.
