On “Is it possible for a team of humans to beat an advanced A. I. in a FPS games?”

It really depends on how the AI is implemented. I don't think humans can reliably win against a well-trained and well-designed AI. The precision that AIs have and their calculation speed make them superhuman in FPS games. The team behind alpha star (the same team that designed alpha zero, the AI that defeated humans in Go) actually published an interesting paper on how they trained alpha star to play Starcraft II at the grandmaster level. Note that they had to nerf the AI's action per minute and limit its map reading ability to make it fair for the human players. You can learn more about it here or watch the actual matches between Alpha star and pro starcraft II players here. Giv…
