AlphaGo belongs to the categories of artificial intelligence and digital disruption. It is a computer programme developed by Google DeepMind to play the very complex board game Go. Go is an ancient Asian strategy game that is more difficult for computers to understand than chess due to its many possible moves. <\/p>\n
AlphaGo's big breakthrough came in 2016 when it defeated the world's best Go player, Lee Sedol. AlphaGo showed just how far artificial intelligence has come: the programme not only memorised rules, but also developed its own strategies that surprised people. <\/p>\n
A simple example to understand AlphaGo: Imagine that after playing a few games against you, your smartphone could not only get better, but discover completely new ways to win - this is how AlphaGo has rethought and changed the old game of Go. The impressive thing about AlphaGo is that machines can make complex decisions that were previously only possible for humans. <\/p>\n
AlphaGo symbolises how artificial intelligence can change many areas, from games to practical applications in everyday life and business.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
