Topic Reading-Vol.1436-3/17/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Artificial intelligence: Google's AlphaGo beats Go master Lee Se-dol
Another shocking defeat to human intelligence and instinct. It was 1997 when then the world chess champion was beaten by IBM’s Deep Blue. It was considered as victory of computing. But most humans, except for a few AI researchers, thought it was just a matter of faster computing than humans and had been in belief of the superiority of human ingenuity and instinct to machine intelligence until March 12, 2016.
Now, in a best of five Go match, Google’s AI player beat a legendary Go champion by 3-0.  Go is a 19x19 grid board game that is much more complex than chess. It was expected to take much longer to develop AI, artificial intelligence, to match the human brain.
Enjoy reading and thinking what AI will do to you in not so distant future.
