Much as IBM's Watson once demonstrated the power of AI by becoming a Jeopardy champion, DeepMind's AlphaGo has been beating the world's best Go players, a long-time aspiration of AI researchers which once seemed unobtainable. Here at the F8 conference, Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer lavished praise on DeepMind (a division of Google) for its accomplishment--and then began talking about ELF OpenGo, Facebook's own reimplementation of DeepMind's technology. Though he readily admitted that Facebook's version isn't the world's best Go-playing technology, it recently took on four top-30 human Go players--running on a computer with a single GPU powering its computations--and won 14-0.

Recently my book "Is Intelligence an Algorithm?" was published by John Hunt Publishing (iff books). To make you curious about this book I provide a free sample chapter (adapted in form but not in content for this purpose). You can download it here (scroll down until you see "Chapter 9"). Do you wish to improve your mental performance? Then we'll first have to figure out what "intelligence" actually is.
