Google's AlphaGo AI just beat the number one ranked Go player in the world
Google's DeepMind AlphaGo AI has done it again: this time, it's defeated 19-year-old Chinese Go prodigy, and current number one ranked player in the world, Ke Jie, in the first of a best of three series.
Ke and AlphaGo are facing off as part of the Future of Go Summit being held by Google in Wuzhen, China this week. The second game will be played this Thursday, with the finale on Saturday. On Friday, AlphaGo will also take part in two further exhibition matches, one where it acts as a teammate to two Chinese pros playing each other, and another where it takes on five Chinese pros simultaneously.
