The success of AI in poker has led to significant changes in how the game is approached. Strategies that human players had either undervalued or not considered were exploited by advanced AI tools. For instance, AI’s aggressive bluffing and value betting tactics influenced human players to adopt similar strategies in high-stakes games.

For me, I think that current poker is good and does not need to introduce AI into the game.

It's been a while, considering HUD's. (If you consider AI), I believe so.

Online player status and info that can help make decisions about that player.

Now how that implies the offline world, I don't see as much. Because after all, the offline game is against flesh and blood!

So, how do you think artificial intelligence will impact the future of poker? Or has it already impacted poker?

Please share your thoughts!

At one point, artificial intelligence will destroy all humans. online poker will be irrelevant to him; he will not play with himself, he will not experience the emotions that the game brought to people; it will not be because it is artificial.
After that, he will disappear from lack of maintenance, and there will be only different animals on the planet, 🐺 fish 🐟 birds 🐦, who did not even know about such a miracle as poker.
A miraculous effect, getting people out of gambling.

I think AI will ruin online poker. I am already leery of playing with real money and this will likely keep me from trying any new sites. I will stick to free rolls and play money games with people I know.

There have been bots in poker for a long time, but the main thing here is what poker room is and how it fights artificial intelligence. I hope for a tough fight against unfair poker play

I'm not sure if the GTO WIZARD App can be included in this "category" - but I really like working with its database. I find many interesting and non-obvious game options in seemingly the most straightforward game situations.
I see this as a plus for introducing AI into our everyday life - the opportunity to study using "easier" material, when all the work has already been done for you, all the data has been collected.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) surely will significantly impact the future of poker if it hasn't already. It can be positive or negatively depending on how humans will integrate it. Much like guns, its inherently useful unless people use it for evil purposes.

AI is useful to analyze vast amounts of poker data for teaching tools and strategies & for sophisticated detection of cheating and collusion. AI can also be a significant threat to game fairness if used improperly as HUD, psychological & tells profiling, or as bots that challenge detection systems DURING ACTUAL GAMEPLAY is simply unbalanced for the game.

Hi :)
I think artificial intelligence can have both useful and harmful applications. Let's hope for the best :)
I think artificial intelligence can make poker safer, detect cases of abuse, manipulation or fraud.

I once wrote about this in another topic. in my opinion, this will significantly affect online poker, if more artificial intelligence sits at the table than ordinary people, this will be bad not only for players but also for poker sites

I don't think it will affect us that much, because I don't see it being very compatible with our sport.
especially because the most harmful thing that could happen has already happened, which was the bots.

Artificial intelligence is already changing poker by helping players analyze strategies and improve their game. In the future, it might make games more competitive and even lead to advanced tools for learning and practice.

I think AI will also play a major role in online poker in a positive and negative sense.

The temptation of fraudsters will be too great not to use it and therefore you will only be able to be a bit better than you will probably be online in the future.

most people are wondering if AI will take over their jobs and eventually it will, including
poker pros. there will be a full table of AI robots with human backers, games will take 20 hours
and we will wake up in the morning to see how our robot did. As time goes on they will take over the world, and all decisions
will be black and white, with no exceptions. I'm sorry your family was killed in a car crash but you were supposed to be here by 8am
so I will have to let you go. the week before Christmas? sorry the holidays have no bearing on your dismissal o_O

Absolutely, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already had a significant impact on the world of poker and will likely continue to shape its future in fascinating ways.

How AI Has Impacted Poker​

  1. Poker Bots: AI-powered poker bots can play at high levels, often outperforming human players. These bots use advanced algorithms and machine learning to make optimal decisions based on the information available. For example, AI bots like Libratus and Pluribus have proven their prowess by defeating professional players.
  2. Training Tools: AI has revolutionized poker training through tools that analyze hand histories, suggest optimal plays, and simulate various scenarios. This has made it easier for players to improve their skills and understand complex strategies.
  3. Game Analysis: AI-driven software can break down games and provide detailed analysis on opponents’ tendencies, helping players to adjust their strategies accordingly. This level of insight was previously unattainable and gives a significant edge to those who use it.

Potential Future Impacts of AI on Poker​

  1. Advanced Training Programs: Future AI could develop even more sophisticated training programs that tailor strategies to individual players' styles and weaknesses. This personalized approach could elevate the standard of play across the board.
  2. Real-Time Assistance: There is potential for AI to offer real-time advice during games, though this raises ethical concerns and could lead to regulations against its use during actual play.
  3. Enhanced Security: AI can be used to detect cheating and collusion in online poker rooms by analyzing patterns that are indicative of foul play. This could make the game safer and more fair for everyone involved.
  4. Virtual and Augmented Reality: Integrating AI with VR and AR could create immersive poker experiences where AI opponents mimic real human behaviors, making practice and casual play more engaging.

Ethical Considerations​

With the rise of AI in poker, there are significant ethical considerations. Using AI bots in live games can undermine the fairness of the competition. As AI continues to evolve, poker communities and regulatory bodies will need to address these issues to maintain the integrity of the game.

In summary, AI is a double-edged sword in the world of poker. While it offers incredible tools for training and analysis, it also presents challenges that the poker community must navigate carefully.

P.S. Funny, but this answer was generated by artificial intelligence Microsoft Copilot and I agree with every word ;););)

I think that because of this, bots will become much stronger and it will become more difficult to detect them.

artificial intelligence has already greatly influenced poker, there are already a lot of programs that calculate the correct game and ranges, not counting the fact that the number of bots at the tables is growing

I think that sadly with time the game will get pretty much solved and AI will definitly dominate the game with people using it to make their own decisions....Best example is chess at first master were crushing computers but now computer are unbetable even for the best of masters.

In my opinion, there are several people using this trick to make greater gains while they are playing, for studying it is super normal.
the other day I was at a table with a player with 2 million poker winnings and he was playing a 1 dollar tournament, to say the least very strange with this stratospheric winnings.

Artificial intelligence isn't really intelligence. The most likely type you are likely to find on-line are Large Language Models. The only A.I. program I have used to date is one to remove background noise from videos. It is imperfect to put it mildly. Regarding poker, I think anyone who uses it will be sorely disappointed because it if works on a purely mathematical model, it will be no better and very likely worse than humans, and that is saying something.

In particular I think it would be no use when it comes to bluffing especially calling bluffs. This can involve psychology, reverse psychology, or simply caprice. Good luck with that one, Mr Robot.
Regarding your experience with AI for video noise removal, the technology has its limitations. It’s still a work in progress, but as more data and techniques are applied, these tools tend to improve over time.

As for poker, you're right that AI might struggle in areas like bluffing, which involves nuanced human behaviors like psychology and caprice. However, some poker-playing AIs, like Pluribus or DeepStack, have shown surprising success. They combine probability with strategies derived from analyzing vast numbers of hands, including bluffing tactics. Still, they lack the human element of "gut feeling."

That said, AI's strength lies in its ability to process and adapt to patterns, which makes it a fascinating tool, albeit one with clear limitations. It’s a blend of strengths and weaknesses, and figuring out how to complement human skills is an ongoing journey.

I think Ai have a really significant impact on the poker world. In the online world we can use Ai to detect cheating from unusual patterns. And we can also create poker bot to boost our poker skill by playing with the bot. And for the live player we usually can use Ai to be an analysis tool to review our live performance and improve our gameplay!

i think online poker is still evolving and that AI will help the weak players, but the strong players dont need as much help. The impact will be minimal, imagine everyone using the same program, how boring would that be? Takes the human element out of the game. pity!

Ì`ll never use AI and suspect it in each new poker day more and more. I`m sure I`ll stop playing poker one day if human factor disappear.

ai sure has the potential to destroy online poker. I tried the new google ai today which has a feature where it can analyze a camera feed. Pointing at an online poker table it could give advice on actions to take in real time. The advice it gave was slow and pretty much always wrong, but still...

It's unfair to have Russian AI bots at the tables, and I believe poker sites need to implement better protection measures, such as live recording of gameplay or anti-bot applications directly integrated into the site. While we still have the chance to play with a fair field, occasionally we see unusual "hero" plays, often coming from players in Russia. In 2024, it’s hard to understand why poker sites can't create effective anti-bot systems. It feels like they are not taking this issue seriously and are misleading us.
