Who would have thought that eventually they would come up with artificial intelligence, surprise! A couple of years ago, Google acquired an AI company called DeepMind and last year unveiled its new program: <a href=\"https:\/\/deepmind.com\/research\/alphago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpha Go AI<\/a>, an artificial intelligence program designed to play the ubiquitous Go game popular in many Asian cultures. Alphao Go made International news last year in a landmark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/2079871-im-in-shock-how-an-ai-beat-the-worlds-best-human-at-go\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">competition in March 2016<\/a>\u00a0when DeepMind had its AI play against world time Go champion Lee Sedol from South Korea and beat him 4-1 in a five match game, the first time a person was outwitted in Go by a machine!<\/p>\n<p>The online science magazine <em>New Scientist<\/em>\u00a0mentioned this accomplishment in an article last year. Now the magazine, among many news channels today, have announced some more exciting news&#8230;AlphaGo has actually been winning more Games&#8230;incognito.<\/p>\n<p>Timothy Revell, writing in the <em>New Scientist<\/em> today, just announced that Demis Hassabis, the founder of DeepMind, tweeted that the company has been using AlphaGo to play against other masters of Go on an online Go website called\u00a0<strong>Tygem<\/strong>\u00a0under the pseudonym &#8220;Master&#8221;. The company plans to actual go through with more &#8220;official testing&#8221; to put their AI to work.<\/p>\n<p>So its another big step for artificial intelligence. Better hone in on our Go skills as AlphaGo is stepping up its game!<\/p>\n<p>(The picture featured at the top is of instructor Dr. Zhiping You leading a lesson on strategies in playing Go at last year&#8217;s 2016 Georgetown Summer Camp with <a href=\"http:\/\/areteem.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Areteem Institute<\/a>. He also discussed artificial intelligence and the famous match between Lee Sedol and the AlphaGo AI).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Google company has made many advances in technology over the years in how we look at the world around<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1367,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[98],"tags":[12,14,15,19,97,114,120,121,122,123,124,125],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>AlphaGo Strikes Again!
