Google Is (Still) Pioneering Artificial Intelligence

Go is so much more complex than chess in terms of the number of possible moves and the number of possible iterations that Google didn't do what IBM did with Deep Blue. In 1997 Deep Blue, literally the programmers had Deep Blue consider every possibly move and go out to examine every single possibility and then go back and pick whichever one had the most possible mean combinations going off of that branch that it set up because Go is thousands and thousands of times more complex with so many more possible moves. I mean, I believe there's something like trillions of possible moves or possible sequences in any given Go game. What AlphaGo, which was Google's project did, they taught it by having it play itself. Playing itself against games to figure out what the best practices and best strategy were.
