AlphaGo is an artificial intelligence (AI) program developed by DeepMind that became famous for defeating human world champions in the game of Go, a complex board game that had long been considered too difficult for AI to master.
Key Achievements of AlphaGo:
- October 2015: AlphaGo defeated Fan Hui, the European Go champion, in a 5–0 match. This was the first time an AI had beaten a human professional in Go.
- March 2016: AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol, one of the world’s top Go players, in a best-of-five series, winning 4–1. This was a major milestone in AI research.
- May 2017: An improved version, AlphaGo Master, defeated Ke Jie, the world’s No. 1 Go player at the time, in a 3–0 series.
- October 2017: DeepMind introduced AlphaGo Zero, an advanced version that trained without human data, learning Go from scratch just by playing against itself. It surpassed all previous versions of AlphaGo within days.
- December 2017: DeepMind introduced AlphaZero, a more general AI capable of mastering chess, shogi, and Go without human input.
Why Was AlphaGo Revolutionary?
1. Deep Reinforcement Learning – AlphaGo used a combination of deep neural networks and reinforcement learning to train itself by playing millions of games.
2. Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) – It used advanced search algorithms to evaluate moves and predict the best outcomes.
3. Superhuman Strategy – AlphaGo played moves that baffled human experts, proving that AI could think in ways humans hadn’t considered.
4. No Need for Human Data – AlphaGo Zero and later versions learned purely from self-play, marking a breakthrough in AI training methods.
AlphaGo's success showed that AI could tackle complex decision-making problems, influencing research in fields beyond games, including medicine, logistics, and robotics.
