An AI doesn't know or care about any of this.
Literally its applying statistics to optimize a cost function or assign labels to input states.
These numbers could represent number of kills or number of dollars; the computer doesn't care.

- Spellman 10y agoAnd that's what makes it ~spooooooky~. It's just absentmindedly optimizing a cold value function! No more humanity! More more external input! Just cold machine logic! We've doomed ourselves!!!! But seriously. No, there is nothing inherent about an AI maximizing wins in StarCraft than one maximizing profits on the stock exchange. Although I feel like there's a bunch of Sci-Fi where this obviously goes awry.
