The AI that plays Go is now better than all Go Players and it trains by playing itself. It was bootstrapped by analyzing human games, but now it's past that. Theoretically reinforcement learning AIs could have access to deeper levels of understanding than just by copying humans because they can build upon experience. These are limited domains for now, but I think the first startling AI will come from chatbots that can come up with novel arguments. Watch the chatbot space. When someone comes up with a really good chatbot that can come up with creative responses, that will really be an AI turning point. All the deep learning ones I've seen so far are like talking to someone with moderate dementia. They forget things from earlier in the conversation and go into conversational loops.

"The algorithms that power Libratus aren’t specific to poker, which means the system could have a variety of applications outside of recreational games, from negotiating business deals to setting military or cybersecurity strategy and planning medical treatment – anywhere where humans are required to do strategic reasoning with imperfect information. “Poker is the least of our concerns here,” said Roman V Yampolskiy, a professor of computer science at the University of Louisville. “You have a machine that can kick your ass in business and military applications. I’m worried about how humanity as a whole will deal with that.”
