Google's Artificial Intelligence Loses Against World Champion for the First Time

Lee Se-dol, the 33-year-old South Korean who is the 18 time world champion of Go, finally beat Google's artificial intelligence program. It marks his first win in the ongoing challenge. Since the AI already won three games in the five-game series, a series which is taking place in Seoul, the victory is already secured; however, the final matches are still being played out. It is hoped that these games will help the Google team get some valuable insights into how well the program functions. And it seems that people like knowing that humanity can put up a good show in the face of artificial intelligence.
