ABSTRACT
There is a long history of interaction between humans and machines. The construction of Wolfgang von Kempelen's Mechanical Turk for the amusement of the court of Maria Theresa of Austria was also indicative of the human fascination with the idea of machines that could think and as such could outplay humans at their own games. Henry Chadwick was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1938, and in 2009, the Society for American Baseball Research created the Henry Chadwick Award for outstanding contributions by baseball researchers. Game theory is a theory of interactive decision-making that provides a toolbox for agents involved in an interaction to understand the behavior of others and choose the right actions in response to that same behavior. In the 1970s, game theory found its way to other fields, such as biology and sociology, with the introduction of evolutionary game theory by Maynard-Smith, for example.
