AlphaGo is scheduled to play its human opponent, the 19-year-old Chinese prodigy Ke Jie, one more time on Saturday in the best-of-three contest. But with a score of 2-0 heading into that final game, and earlier victories against other opponents already on the books, AlphaGo has proved its superiority. Discussing the contest afterward, Mr. Ke said a very human element got the better of him: his emotions.

m_allegretti 574 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Well anything that can be put into algorithms can be done by computers. I think calling it "intelligent" freaks people out but really it's just programs. Of course there are still issues with these programs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
