Humans strike back at Go-playing AI systems • The Register

#artificialintelligence

Think that puny humans don't stand a chance when playing strategy games against an AI? You may have to think again. One person in the US beat an AI at the ancient game of Go by simply distracting it from the attack he was making, a tactic that would be unlikely to work on another meatbag. The player, Kellin Pelrine, is apparently not quite at the top of the amateur rankings for playing Go, but managed to best the AI in 14 out of 15 games, according to the Financial Times. Pelrine used tactics that involved distracting the algorithm with moves in other corners of the board while he worked to surround groups of his opponents' stones.
