Google's AI subsidiary DeepMind has unveiled
the latest version of its Go-playing software,
AlphaGo Zero.
It is said to be even more powerful than its
predecessor, which beat two of the world's
best players, including Korea's Lee Sedol.
More importantly, AlphaGo Zero did not analyze
any human moves and completely taught itself
with a blank Go board and no data apart from
the rules.
Within three days, it was good enough to beat
the original program by 100 games to zero.
DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said his team
is now working to apply the new AI technology
into other real world problems.
