Google AlphaGo 'can't beat me' says China Go grandmaster - Telegraph

"Facing AlphaGo, I do not feel the same strong instinct of victory when I play a human player, but I still believe I have the advantage against it," he told state news agency Xinhua. Mr Ke has beaten 33-year-old Mr Lee eight times over ten matches between the pair, with two of his victories over the world number four coming earlier this year. Go Fans watch a TV screen showing the live broadcast of the Google DeepMind Challenge Match at Yongsan Electronic Technology Land in Seoul, South Korea, as Google's artificial intelligence (AI) program AlphaGo beat top-class South Korean Go player Lee Se-dol in the ancient board game Go. But another Chinese media outlet said Mr Ke had earlier said he was not interested in facing off against the programme in the complex strategy game because he did not want it to copy his own world-beating tactics. "I don't want to compete with AlphaGo because judging from its matches with Lee, AlphaGo is weaker than me," he told Shanghai-based thepaper.cn.
