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.
