New Scientist : On 9 March an artificial intelligence machine called AlphaGo defeated the world’s best Go player, Lee Sedol, in the first of a five-game series in Seoul, South Korea. In October 2015 AlphaGo, developed by Google, had its first win against a professional player when it beat European champ Han Fui. AlphaGo’s computer algorithm uses deep neural networks to mimic expert players, along with reinforcement learning to improve its play. The victory is considered by many to be a history-making moment because Go is thought to be among the most challenging games for artificial intelligence, more so even than chess.
