This seems like an impressive first step towards AGI. The games, like 'pong' and 'space invaders' are perhaps not the most cerebral games, but given that deep blue can only play chess, this is far more impressive IMO. They didn't even need to adjust hyperparameters between games.
I'd also like to see whether they can train a network that plays the same game on different maps without re-training, which seems a lot harder.
