SEOUL: Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) program AlphaGo has been awarded the highest Go grandmaster rank, reserved for those whose ability at the ancient board game borders on “divinity”, South Korea’s Go Association said.
The association announced the award before the final game of AlphaGo’s five-match series with South Korean grandmaster Lee Se-Dol, with the computer currently holding an unassailable 3-1 advantage.
