The mythical game of GO is said to be the mirror of the soul – human creativity and intelligence are reflected in it. Asians consider it to be one of the four noble arts of literate people, alongside music, poetry and the art of painting.
But now humans have created a computer capable of beating the 18 times world champion. Is that a good thing, as we can improve ourselves using AI? Or need we worry to be ruled by machines?
One thing is certain – this is just the beginning.
This stunning and surprisingly emotional Netflix documentary puts these vital questions center stage.
DeepMind is the company behind AlphaGo.
