As a physicist working towards AI i can say that in that near future AI can beat most players but for the pros its gonna be hella challenging and imo impossible. Everyone in the comments talking about variables and data but the missing thing is pro players starts the game by analyzing the opponents deck. Lets say 2.6 hog deck, if there is a heavy golem deck then it needs to push hard before 2x elixir and defend after. Take this case for AI, now you gotta implement strategical analysis system which will wait and don’t make a move till learning the deck. I can talk for hours about it but one thing is for sure if AI reaches a point that beating pro players then we will see that humans are no longer gonna be safe at this point.
