AlphaGo

AlphaGo is an artificial intelligence program developed by DeepMind that plays the board game Go. Unlike chess, Go has a vast number of possible moves, making it more challenging for computers. AlphaGo uses advanced machine learning techniques, particularly deep neural networks, to analyze millions of past games and learn strategies. In 2016, AlphaGo famously defeated a world champion, marking a significant milestone in AI development. This achievement demonstrated AI's potential to tackle complex, non-linear problems and has implications for various fields, including healthcare and robotics.
