Description

Games typically involve some combination of math, chance, strategy, and skill. In this two part mini-series, the Klaviyo Data Science Podcast investigates the role of math in games and how our relationship to them is changing given the increasing number of sophisticated AI Agents that can often beat us at our favorite games.

This podcast additionally covers concepts ranging from what makes a game ‘Solved’, to how the early development of Game Theory was influenced by the Cold War.The team also touches on a topic that will be expanded on in the next episode: why AI Agents are so sophisticated at certain games (e.g. Go), while struggling with other games (e.g. no stakes poker or basketball).

When they invent the robot LeBron James, it will be the end of human society.
