After the algorithm AlphaGo to assert themselves in the game, its developers decided that it’s time to do something more useful. It is correct, because th AI has reached unprecedented heights: won 60 victories on the leading online sites for the game of go, defeated one of the most famous players Whether Sedalia, and then won two victories over Ke Jie, nineteen-year-old champion in the game of go.
Now the developers decided to go a different direction, programmed AlphaGo for solving other complex tasks. In the nearest future programmers to create new algorithms based on it that will be able to develop a cure for hard-to-treat disease, for example. In addition, their plans include research that can help to reduce consumption of electricity or the creation of new materials.
Engadget reports that DeepMind team responsible for the development of the algorithm, will soon prepare a lot of material, which will talk in detail about how the program prepared to do battle with the champion Ke Jie, and will demonstrate the principle of artificial intelligence.
Video showing ten training games with the two programs AlphaGo fighting against each other, one can already see the developers website, and closer to the end of the year they will spread and new materials.
The algorithm AlphaGo “ends his career” and focus on more important tasks
