BBO continues to innovate successfully in so many areas of its already impressive site.

Why would BBO not want to similarly build on its achievements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) at low cost and low/medium risk?

Initial low cost enhancements to GIB with a high return on investment in AI could include:

- add many times more simulations,
- include passes in the process of building a picture of partners hand,
- have different rules for suit selection for initial lead against NT and suit contracts,
- particularly add a rule about preferring long suit leads at NT,
- add opening/subsequent lead look-up tables,
- add simple rule about considering leading partners suit unless having a better lead,
- publish full details for each new release/version of what has been added/removed/fixed,
- publish wish lists sourced by both BBO/users,
- replace any separate expensive to maintain bid descriptions with what GIB actually understands by the bids so avoiding conflict and
confusion and maintenance costs,
- note discrepancies between the new generated descriptions and bridge sense to highlight patterns of errors and thus promising areas for
further enhancement with a high return on investment,
- ...

In a years time BBO will owna a steadily improvig GIB to be even more proud of, knowing even more significant improvements are just a low investment away. And as the underlying performance is enhanced, the simulation count could be reduced.
