AlphaGo, who defeated the 1st go player Sedan Lee Sedol in 2016, has recently defeated the AlphaGo Zero, a new AI created by his father Julian Schrittwieser.
AlphaGo, who defeated the go-lucky player No. 1 Lee Sedol in 2016 but recently this artificial intelligence (AI) was defeated by AlphaGo Zero, a new AI created by his father Julian Schrittwieser.
When Julian Schrittwieser joined DeepMind, a Google-owned artificial intelligence company several years ago, the Go game was often called the "Holy Grail" of machine learning. This is a game that originated in ancient China, the rivalry between two players is hardly limited by any rules. At that time, it was predicted that it would take a very long time, even a decade, for AI to learn and beat the world's top go players.
"Match of the Century" between AlphaGo and Lee Sedol.
But in March 2016, Schrittwieser and his colleagues at DeepMind developed a program called AlphaGo. After going through a 5-game match with Lee Sedol - a Korean go player, the reigning world champion at that time, AlphaGo won 4-1. There are more than 100 million followers of this match and it is called "the game of the century" by fans.
Schrittwieser and colleagues continue to create a new program called AlphaGo Zero, much more impressive. And in October 2017, AlphaGo Zero defeated the seniors program AlphaGo in a go game with a shocking ratio of 100 - 0.
AlphaGo, learn to play Go by studying human matches, while AlphaGo Zero learns by a completely different method, playing with itself - a special ability imprinted with AI.
