Is it possible to make an machine learning algorithm, that can outperform humans in complex games with current technology?

Question

Would a company like OpenAi, it the "average" person be able to make a bot, using machine learning, that can outperform the best e-sport players in complex games, like PubG, with the technology we have available today? And if so: what kind of models and approach would most likely be used?

Answer 1

The general class of algorithms would be Deep Reinforcement Learning.

One possible approach would be to collect a large number of games. Then train the agent on those games.

Another possible approach could be the agent playing against itself, aka self play.
