Google DeepMind takes on Go grandmaster in AI match（383 words）

By Song Jung-a in Seoul

* * *

The world champion of ancient Chinese board game Go is confident he can beat Google’s AlphaGo machine, ahead of a high-profile match that could yield a milestone for artificial intelligence.

Lee Se-dol, the South Korean who has been the top Go player in the world for the past decade, predicted he would win easily in the five-game match, which will be played over the course of five days starting on Wednesday.

“It would be a computer’s victory if it wins even one game,” Mr Lee told the Financial Times. “I believe human intuition and human senses are too advanced for artificial intelligence to catch up. I doubt how far AlphaGo can mimic such things.”

AlphaGo, developed by Demis Hassabis and colleagues at Google DeepMind in London, already beat Fan Hui, the European Go champion, by five games to zero in October — a feat that experts had predicted would take a decade.

Mr Hassabis stressed that AlphaGo has made many improvements since the October match, which was played behind closed doors with the results published in the scientific journal Nature.

“I saw the record of the match with Fan Hui and was surprised to see the level that AlphaGo has achieved, but it is not yet up to my level,” Mr Lee said. “I don’t think that five months are enough time for it to improve that much to beat me.”

DeepMind uses games as a testing ground for AI algorithms that could have real-world applications.

“We think it is very efficient to develop AI algorithms and test them in game settings,” Mr Hassabis said.

He predicted that it would still take many decades to create human-level AI but said the match will provide a chance for researchers to assess the learning algorithm’s flexibility and ability to solve complex problems that could be applied to a range of industries.

“Ultimately, we want to use this technology for more than just playing games,” he said. “What we hope to do is to apply [it] to a lot of real-world problems in the future, including healthcare?.?.?.?, household robots, robots that care for the elderly and the smart assistant on your phone.”

If Mr Lee wins, Google will pay him $1m and if he loses the company will give $1m to charity.
