Go World Champion Retires After Realizing He Can't Beat AI Hack News

Go is one of the most complex abstract strategy games which involves surrounding more territory than your opponent to win the game. Lee Sedol is the world champion of the Go game and has bagged #2 position in international titles. In March 2016, Lee Sedol competed against Google's AI-based AlphaGo program and lost four out of five matches to the AI. Sedol was shocked after the defeat and said, "I don't know how to start or what to say today, but I think I would have to express my apologies first. I do apologize for not being able to satisfy a lot of people's expectations. I kind of felt powerless."
