Getting AI To Argue

20 years ago an approach to training AI was to teach it it argue. Researchers at the University of Southampton were hoping to boost the performance of ‘intelligent agents’ by making them argue with eachother. “A lot of what agents need to do is to perform some sort of negotiation. To make them more effective, we are adding argumentation,” Professor ...
