AlphaGo, the documentary

Go is a game that was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and is known as the most difficult game in the world. Due to the large number of possibilities in each move, creating an artificial intelligence capable of mastering it was impossible to achieve … Until DeepMind arrived.

The number of possible configurations of the board is more than the number of atoms in the universe

DeepMind is the company that created AlphaGo, an intelligent system that learns by itself, without any human help, that won more than a year ago the South Korean champion Lee Sedol. The media went crazy and they talked about the famous 37th move, a move that no human could have made. Now Netflix tells the full story in a magistral documentary. I recommend it to everyone!

By the way, AlphaGo Zero is the evolution of AlphaGo and is demonstrating a highest performance according to Nature magazine. You can already read news in which the new version of AlphaGo surpassed the old version 100 victories to 0 in “Go”.
