AI Agents that are supposed to be able to function on a level comparable to players.
All games need players. However, there are not always enough people available and willing to play to fit the demands on
This pattern is still a stub.

Examples
Already the first computer game, 'OXO' - a computer-based version of Tic-Tac-Toe developed by Alexander S. Douglas, allowed a player to compete against the program itself<a ref name"OXO"/>.
Not all AI players need to be controlled by computers. A 'robot', really a set of instructions that a human needed to follow, was introduced in the expansion 'The Gathering Storm' of the card game Race for the Galaxy. This 'robot' allows a single player to player against it as if a two-player instance of the game was being played. An even earlier example of an AI Player was
'MENACE' by Donald Michie. Although not the first AI Player for Tic-Tac-Toe it could get better after each time it played and was first implemented through the use of beans and about 300 matchboxes[1].
