AlphaGo defeats Lee Sedol 4–1 in Google DeepMind Challenge Match

DeepMind’s groundbreaking artificial intelligence, AlphaGo, defeated Lee Sedol9p in the final game of the Google DeepMind Challenge Match on March 15, 2016, winning the five game match with a 4–1 score.

After Lee pulled off a surprise win in the fourth game, hopes of a repeat performance in the fifth were high amongst Lee’s fans, but it was not to be.

Although Lee got off to a good start in game five, and AlphaGo even made a miscalculation around move 50, the computer’s superior judgment and efficiency of play eventually won the day.

AlphaGo now goes down in history as the first computer Go program to defeat a top professional player, and was awarded an honorary professional 9 dan rank by the Korean Baduk Association (baduk = Go in Korean).
