What we saw over the past week and the final
game between AlphaGo and Lee Sedol is a big
deal for humanity with lots of implications
that stretch far beyond a board game.
The final match between the first official
match of man versus. machine may be over but,
the bigger contest is by no means over.
In the studio with me to provide us some perspective
is Chung Tae-myung.
Professor Chung is head of software department
at Sungkyunkwan University.
Professor Chung, welcome to the program.
You watched the match between AlphaGo and
Lee Sedol, I'm sure.
First of all, before we get into anything,
I'd like to know your overall thoughts.
So, what you are 
saying 
is that it is actually deep learning that's
involved here.
Not just a computer program behaving based
on a set of massive data.
It's actually the machine LEARNING the way
humans think.
Is the ultimate goal of AI to mimic the human
brain?
Can we build robots A.I. machines with emotion?
Sense of identiy...
Can we go that far?
We know Google's obviously been investing
a whole lot in the field of AI for years now,
Apple is on it, China's Baidu... essentially,
major players have been looking into this
sector for a while.
How far along is 
Korea in this sector?
Chung Tae-myung, professor of software at
Seoul-based Sungkyunkwan University... thank
you indeed for speaking with us tonight.
