Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Go master quits because AI ‘cannot be defeated’

Born in March 1983, Lee Sedol is a South Korean professional Go player of 9 dan rank. He became a professional Go player when he was 12 and has been considered as one of the most prominent Go players in the modern era. Originated in China, Go is a three-millennium old game. It is a very complex game as each player usually has 200 moves to choose, ten times more than chess.

In March 2019, he played a five-game match against the computer program AlphaGo, developed by DeepMind, an artificial intelligence arm of Google. Before the match, he was confident that he would win but was defeated one-to-four, though the games were very close. The defeat of this legendary Go champion is regarded as a landmark moment for artificial intelligence. Now, the 18-time world Go champion has decided to retire from his glorious Go career. He said that there is an entity that cannot be defeated.

Was he the last line of human defense against machines?

Enjoy reading the article and think about what humans can do better than artificial intelligence, instead of what AI can do.
