SEOUL: A Google-developed computer programme took an unassailable 3-0 lead in its match-up with a South Korean Go grandmaster on March 12 – marking a major breakthrough for a new style of “intuitive” artificial intelligence (AI).
The programme, AlphaGo, secured victory in the five-match series with its third consecutive win over Lee Se-Dol – one the ancient game’s greatest modern players with 18 international titles to his name.
