It's a matter of style and taking advantage of one's strengths.  Computers are
very strong in tactical positions, and open positions suit their style,
therefore openings which lead to open positions would be the best for computers.
 For humans playing against computers, closed openings are the best to play
against the computers.  This is because computers are not able to play closed
positions well enough, yet.  Perhaps within a few years this weakness will be
fixed, hopefully by the programmers.
