In 2016, DeepMind’s AlphaGo stunned the world by defeating a top human Go player, an achievement remarkable for its complexity. Go is an ancient board game with more possible moves than atoms in the universe, making it one of the most challenging games for AI to master. AlphaGo’s success marked a new era in artificial intelligence, showcasing the potential of reinforcement learning and deep neural networks to conquer complex tasks.
Since then, AI programs like AlphaZero have further demonstrated mastery in games such as chess and Go, serving as formidable guides for human players. These AI systems have not only outperformed humans but also brought new insights into game strategies, effectively transforming how these disciplines evolve.
