With more board configurations than atoms in the universe, the ancient Chinese game of Go has long been considered a major challenge for artificial intelligence. On March 9, 2016, the worlds of Go and artificial intelligence collided in South Korea for an extraordinary best-of-five competition, dubbed The DeepMind Challenge Match. Millions of people around the world watched a legendary Go master take on an untested AI challenger for the first time in history.
AlphaGo documentary has won countless awards and near-universal accolades for a story that tells a journey from the corridors of Oxford, through the lanes of Bordeaux, past the coding terminals of DeepMind in London. and ultimately to the seven-day tournament in Seoul. As the drama unfolds, more questions arise: What can artificial intelligence reveal about a 3,000-year-old game? What can it teach us about humanity?
