As AI gets smarter, humans need to stop being sore losers

Earlier this month, Google's DeepMind team made history when its AlphaGo software managed to defeat professional Go player Lee Sedol in a five-game match. The contest was billed as a battle between man and machine -- and it saw the human player largely outclassed by his AI opponent. Artificial intelligence is only going to grow more sophisticated in coming years, becoming more of a factor in everyday life as the development of this technology continues to progress. With artificial minds growing ever more powerful, humans may have to change the game to maintain superiority. To get a true impression of how much progress has been made in the field of artificial intelligence in recent years, it's useful to compare the AlphaGo AI facing Lee with IBM's Deep Blue computer, which faced Chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in the 1990s.
