The program is designed to test the limits of computers in taking on humans at complex tasks and this victory over the world's top player - which many thought would take decades to achieve - comes after the AI program from Google's DeepMind unit bested a South Korean Go professional in a similar exhibition match last year. Go is a highly complex board game dating back thousands of years that involves two contestants placing black and white stones on a grid. It is popular in Asian countries and most top-ranked players hail from China, Japan and South Korea. Ke, the 19-year-old world number one, was visibly frustrated, tugging his hair and laying his head on the table during the final moments of the second match against AlphaGo on Thursday. "Last year, I think the way AlphaGo played was pretty close to human beings, but today I think he plays like the God of Go," Ke said after the game.

He rode in the Beast, the president's armored Cadillac limousine, which carried the American and Belgian flags.

The conference room had EU and US flags along the wall, and small flower arrangements at the center of the table. Trump then told the leaders about his foreign trip.

Google is changing how Ambient Display handles notifications in Android O. The mobile software is currently in testing, and is expected to be released in October. It's a relatively minor tweak, but one that will improve the user experience by stopping your phone's screen from accidentally waking up while it's in your pocket. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

Facebook is making it very easy to ask for money from your friends. The social network has rolled out a fundraising feature aimed at raising cash for whatever people want. They can be used for personal fundraising – cash for educational, medical or personal emergencies, for instance – as well as now for communities or sports teams. As such, it looks to take on other popular services like Go Fund Me or Just Giving, both of which aim to be shared on Facebook and generate money from friends. But Facebook's option is cheaper, taking a much smaller percentage than the former.

Chinese Go player Ke Jie reacts as he plays a match against Google's artificial intelligence program, AlphaGo, during the Future of Go Summit in Wuzhen in eastern China's Zhejiang Province. WUZHEN, China (AP) -- A computer beat China's top player of go, one of the last games machines have yet to master, for a second time Thursday in a competition authorities limited the Chinese public's ability to see. Ke Jie lost despite playing what Google's AlphaGo indicated was the best game any opponent has played against it, said Demis Hassabis, founder of the company that developed the program.

They play a final game Saturday.

Uber's chief of human resources, Liane Hornsey, tells USA TODAY a 200-session listening tour of the company after allegations of pervasive sexism found employees concerned about pay and performance reviews, but not sexual harassment. Liane Hornsey took over as Uber's chief human resources officer in January, shortly before the company became mired in a series of scandals. She is seen here speaking with Uber's new head of diversity initiatives, Bernard Coleman III. SAN FRANCISCO -- After nearly five months of digging into Uber's internal culture, its new chief human resources officer says the ride-hailing company's treatment of women -- which gave it a public black eye after charges of persistent sexism and discrimination were detailed by a former employee -- is no worse at Uber than at other companies. "Wherever I have worked, I have seen things that are not great for women," Liane Hornsey told USA TODAY as she awaits the imminent release of an internal investigation into Uber's culture spurred by the revelations of former engineer Susan Fowler.

Could sailing be the next desk job? Some sailors of tomorrow will never have to get their sea legs. These sailors will be seated in office buildings on land, hundreds of miles from their ship, which won't have any humans on board. Automation is storming the transportation sector, eliminating some jobs and turning others into desk jobs. Sailors, pilots and drivers are slowly shifting from the high seas, blue skies and open roads to staid office buildings where they monitor vessels from afar.
