Deep Mind's AlphaZero Game Playing AI -- Reduces Compute Time, Cuts Costs & Saves Energy

CIOs & CTOs, the MIT Technology Review reported on October 5, 2022 reported that "DeepMind's game-playing AI AlphaZero has beaten a 50-year-old record in computer science. DeepMind has used its board-game playing AI to discover a faster way to solve a fundamental math problem in computer science, beating a record that has stood for more than 50 years. The problem, matrix multiplication, is a crucial type of calculation at the heart of many different applications, from displaying images on a screen to simulating complex physics. It is also fundamental to machine learning itself. Speeding up this calculation could have a big impact on thousands of everyday computer tasks, cutting costs and saving energy."
