human Go champion loses 2nd game
Lee Sedol, believed to be the best human Go player in the world, has lost two consecutive games to Google's DeepMind AI AlphaGo. It has long been believed that Go was too complex to be mastered by AI at the present.

Isn't that another way of saying that humans can't beat a standalone computer at speed chess? --Bobthemanintheseersuckersuit wrote:I heard a story on the radio, that humans with a computer assistant can still beat a standalone computer at speed chess.
