Combining game theory with AI, Meta's Cicero was able to outsmart 90% of human players of the strategy game Diplomacy. Game theory models many forms of group human behavior, especially in politics and economics, where this AI will have many applications.

Meta has had a rough few weeks with AI. Their new Galactica science summarizer got a bad reception and was shelved. However, with Cicero, it looks like they are much more successful.
This is a very interesting advance in AI as it incorporates a form of reasoning. Most of that reasoning comes from applying game theory. This is fascinating as game theory models many types of group human behavior. As ever this has black and white hat applications. I won't be surprised if the world's intelligence agencies are looking at this and wondering how to use it in psy-ops and influencing other countries.
