Google's AlphaGo AI Mastered Go Before Being Taught to Play - Apparently.
In 2016, Google's AlphaGo AI program defeated a 18-time world champion Go player, Lee Sedol, in a best-of-five match. The AI's victory marked a significant milestone in artificial intelligence, demonstrating its ability to learn complex patterns and strategies through machine learning and deep learning techniques. AlphaGo's training data consisted of only 30 million moves from 150,000 games, yet it was able to surpass human expertise in the ancient board game.
