So basically, what's going on is that Google developed an AI that can supposedly play a game called
Go better than any living person. At least, that's what Google's trying to prove. Up until now, computers have only ever been able to play at an amateur level, and now jumping up orders of magnitude in level is something astonishing for AI development.
They've challenged the 10 year reigning champion to a 5 match test to see which is better. The one with the most matches wins.
AlphaGo won against the champion in the first match yesterday, and today's the second, and it's starting very soon!
