I agree so what I don't think that shows computers are closer to becoming intelligent If indeed was the point of the exercise I think it is some time off when intelligence and indeed enjoyment can be built into machines Part of the reasons is the non physical existence of concepts such as intelligence and enjoyment The game appears to be a contest between the big beach bully kicking sand in the face of the weakling I do think it could be possible for a computer to be built which can mimic intelligence and enjoyment over winning a game However intelligence and enjoyment span the gamut of human experiences far in excess of a game Thinking about robots in SiFi I really cannot think of one which shows intelligence Most seem to operate as a mobile computer with a vast amount of information Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

If whales learn to fly, their enjoyment of the activity will be a secondary concern. Good strong umbrellas will be primary.
The goal is not to benefit the computer; the goal is to develop and refine artificial intelligence. No. You calculator is simply doing math on numbers you supply it. Making decisions based on a the vast array of extremely complex factors involved it the strategy of a human game is many, many orders of magnitude more difficult. Figuring out how to - get a computer to examine and prioritize these factors, and - acquire a result so complex that it beats a human at a human game of strategy is the goal of this research.

Hooray for AlphaGo! As far as I know the rovers on other planets wouldn't be able to get instructions from Earth without a clear line of sight. Now, future robots could do their own thing without communication.
I hope people are not annoyed by me being technical but line of sight does not seem right for that. Sight is not involved. <>
I read that in the next 30 years, AI will take away many jobs done by humans, many people of low education will suffer. How true can this prophecy be?
They've been saying that since the dawn of the Industrial Age. The upshot will be that employment opportunities will open up in more advanced fields as the grunt work is no longer done by humans. 'Web Designer' and 'AI content provider' will become the 'factory assembler' and 'toilet cleaner' of the 21st century.
