Too Long; Didn't Read
Recently I’ve being following the game at Wuzheng about Alpha Go and its game with Kejie, the current world champion in the game of go. This game has a very significant effect on the development of AI for two reasons. One, the game of go has being considered one of the hardest games to solve for AI because it’s near impossible to do with brute force. The number of possible moves in go is magnitudes higher than the number of atoms in the observable universe. The other reason is that since the game with Lee Sedol last year, Alpha Go has improved significantly. It actually teaches itself how to play go (unfortunately there’s no human that can actually teach it anything), and it’s done using one tenth of the computation requirement.
