AlphaGo Introduction:
I am not a Go player but this kind of events is really interesting and shows what machines are capable of already.
Nothing has been decided yet 
Let’s be fair now.
That machine has only one interest, intent & goal - sole purpose: To annihilate human!
And it’s more likely: “Modern families, scientists, industry, internet, billion$” VS. “a man”
There’s only one result in deterministic system… it’s not an egg.
Anyone care on speculating what comes next?
42…
Computer scientists have always been very interested in developing computer algorithms that apparently match the skills of human players. They do this, not only to develop better computer algorithms, but also to better understand how human players (might!) play the same games.
Generally speaking, the human masters are very-willing participants in these projects, and are gracious … even pleased … when the computer manages to “beat them.” Because, this is how the science of cybernetics may advance.
We are still(!) “groping in the dark” as we strive to imitate human behavior in an inanimate piece of machinery. The contributions of these human game-masters are therefore priceless.
And here is the conundrum:
… but the computing-engine that this machine is playing against, is powered by nothing more than yesterday’s sushi.
This is also called efficiency, we human are currently thousandfold more efficient than those machines.
That’s the reason I mentioned about the waiting for breakthroughs in quantum computing or even biotech-based computing in another thread.
