An AI is not your average piece of software, it is true that software created by humans cannot do anything which is outside of its programming, however an AI is different, think of it as a piece of software that evolves on its own, so once it finds out something which does not fit its model instead of just skipping it and do nothing about it, it will include on its model the next time it analyzes the data it has seen, which is what makes AI so powerful to solve difficult problems which would be almost impossible to solve for your average programmer.
The question is can it truly evolve on its own, can AI actually act outside what is written in its programming codes?
I doubt the possibility of that and if we must be sincere to ourselves we should already know that several limitations come with this development, there is no doubt that it is relatively new and the world is embracing it as one of the developments that will really revolutionize the way tasks are accomplished.
But what place the AI will occupy in the gambling market is what we can not ascertain in reality.
I know it sounds odd but that is just the way it is, AI algorithms are widely known and you can find them on most books about the topic or even the internet, and when you look at them at first they do not seem to do much, however by processing the data beforehand and then giving this data to the AI, the AI can develop models about almost any problem at hand, that being said there are different AI models as each one of them is better at solving a particular kind of problem.
