In 2016, Google's AlphaGo beat a world champion Go player by making move 37, a play never seen in human history that looked completely wrong until it won. The AI learned from human games but invented something no human had ever thought of.
Yesterday we talked about the IBM competition where the computer played against the Chinese game Go. Was it Go, right? And there's a famous move. Anybody ever play Go? Anybody know this story? So there's a famous move in Go, and the IBM machine played against the Chinese, the world champion is Chinese, doesn't matter. And it was move, I think it was 37 that the computer did. And in the history of the game Go, no one's ever done that move. And that move, the announcer said, that move was alien. Everybody freaked out saying, what was that move? We've never seen that move before. And it was a defining move. When the competition is over and the machine beat the human being, they went to the developers and they said, what did you do? Because at that time, this story was 5 years ago. At that time, AI, what we did with AI, we gave it all the historical information. These are all the moves human beings have ever done. So the AI should only duplicate or replicate. Move 37 was a move that it was never taught. That's where we are today. It is super exciting.
