Chinese Artificial Intelligence Team Announces Plans To Challenge Google's AlphaGo

Earlier this month, we watched the defeat of world-renowned Go-mastermind Lee Sedol, who lost a Go tournament to Google's AlphaGo Artificial Intelligence. What's so incredible and unexpected about this event is that such a defeat--where an artificial intelligence takes down a human master in such a complex game--wasn't expected for another decade, at least. But the world watched in awe as Lee was defeated 4 times by Google's artificial intelligence (AI). The competition consisted of five matches that spanned over one week in mid-March. If Lee was to win the competition, he would have been awarded 1 million.
