Google DeepMind AI program defeats S. Korean Go master - Electronic Products

Google DeepMind AI program AlphaGo defeated human Go world champion, Lee Sedol, in a five game series. The victory draws the week-long Challenge Series tournament in South Korea to a conclusion. This win marks a major milestone for artificial intelligence research, as Go is a fairly simple game, but has proven to be infamously difficult for computers to master due to the vast number of potential moves. Many Go players say the game primarily relies on intuition as a strategy. The victory is also significant, as it marks the first time in history that an AI program beat one of the best Go players in the world.
