SEOUL: A Google-developed supercomputer bested a South Korean Go grandmaster again, taking a commanding 2-0 lead in a five-game series that has become a stunning global debut for a new style of “intuitive” artificial intelligence (AI).
After shocking the world by defeating Lee Se-Dol – one of the greatest modern players of the ancient board game – in their opening match on March 9, the AlphaGo computer proved it was no fluke with another victory after a gruelling four-and-a-half-hour encounter.
