Google's DeepMind AI has been secretly schooling online Go players

Over the past year, Google's DeepMind AlphaGo AI has taken on (and defeated) worldwide Go masters in a series of high-profile matches. But in a sly move similar to a game-playing Turing test, DeepMind recently unleashed AlphaGo on some unsuspecting online Go players, thoroughly trouncing them in the process. The mysterious player, simply called "Master" or "Magister," started showing up on Tygem and FoxGo servers over the past few days and went on to play dozens of matches against some of the top Go players in the world. When Master won more than 50 straight, Go players on Reddit started to catch on, Business Insider reports. So a mysterious AI, 'Master', is trouncing top Go players online 50-0, likely superhuman, and no one knows who created it.
