Former Go champion beaten by DeepMind retires after declaring AI invincible

Posted by in categories: entertainment, robotics/AI

When competing, it makes sense to compete on/with that worth competing (for). AI or not, it doesn’t matter.


The South Korean Go champion Lee Se-dol has retired from professional play, telling Yonhap news agency that his decision was motivated by the ascendancy of AI.

“With the debut of AI in Go games, I’ve realized that I’m not at the top even if I become the number one through frantic efforts,” Lee told Yonhap. “Even if I become the number one, there is an entity that cannot be defeated.”
