Google's AlphaGo can now teach ITSELF how to win at Go

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

In 2015, Google revealed its'god-like' AlphaGo artificial intelligence system - the first computer program to defeat a world champion at the ancient Chinese game of Go. And while it may sound implausible, the incredible system has just got even better. Scientists have unveiled the latest version of the system, called AlphaGo Zero, which learns to play simply by playing games against itself. The researchers hope their creation can help to solve some of the'most important challenges humanity is facing.' The system starts off with a neural network that knows nothing about the game of Go.
