Microsoft recently filed for a patent for an AI that detects Xbox cheaters by combing through their gaming history for suspicious ranks or achievements. The patent application was publ ished by the US Patent and Trademark Office last month. Unlike other efforts by the likes of Valve, this AI wouldn’t just look for cheaters within active games.

Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland.

Interesting tech is putting in here
I can't stand cheaters in gaming. I hope this AI works.
Wonder if it will racially insult the cheaters as well as question their sexuality. Remember 'Tay'? :)
Didnt we already have this story already?
