[[2K Australia]] is offering a prize worth A$10,000 to develop a game-playing bot that plays a [[first-person shooter]]. The aim is to convince a panel of judges that it is actually a human player. The competition started in 2008 and was won in 2012. A new competition is planned for 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.botprize.org/|title=Bot Prize &#124; Robots, AI, and Media}}</ref>
