onal Lee Sedol, considered by many to be the world's strongest player, is scheduled for March. "We're pretty confident," says Deep- Mind co-founder Demis Hassabis. "This is a really big result, it's huge," says Kenn Coulom, a programmer in Lille, France, who designed a commercial Go program called Crazy Sto

The IBM chess computer Deep Blue, which famously beat grandmaster Garry Kasparov in 1997, was explicitly programmed to win at the game. But AlphaGo was not preprogrammed to play

closely, something that is happening already. Some of today’s greatest exponents of machine learning—such as Geoffrey Hinton, Zoubin Ghahramani, and Demis Hassabis—have backgrounds in cognitive neuroscience, and their success has been at least in part due to attempts to model brainlike behavior in their algorith

Machines were simply faster at doing brute-force calculations, had prodigious amounts of memory, and were not prone to errors. One article described Deep Blue’s victory not as that of a computer, which was just a dumb machine, but as the victory of hundreds of programmers over Kasparov, a single individual.
