Their goal is absolutely achievable. In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue computer defeated reigning world chess champion Garry Kasparov. Given the rate of advance of artificial intelligence research, the group believes that 50 years is plenty of time to develop a robot soccer team that can defeat the human champions.
別以為這個夢想遙不可及，1997 年 IBM 電腦「深藍」就打敗西洋棋王卡斯帕洛夫；以人工智慧技術進展的速度看來，聯盟認為，50 年時間足以讓機器人踢贏人類。
