Eric Schimt CEO of Google visited to Korea to watch the challenge match between Lee SeDol and AlphaGo. His moves caught a lot of world news companies, and more than 300 medias from US, France, Japan etc came to the 3rd public press.
Eric Schimt said that Google Deepmind has developed itself with a method named reinforcement study and make this to be possible which has been known to be impossible. Regardless of the result, this would be win for human.
Demis Hasabis CEO of Deepmind explained to the public about how AlphaGo improved itself and his willingness to have cooperations with other industires such as healthcare, robot, cell phone etc.
Lee SeDol 9P said in the interview that I didn't know but I realized something today. Even its method would be different, AlphaGo is very good at following human's intuition. I have said many times I can win with 5 to 0, but I think I could lose somehow.
And Lee 9P also said that even AlphaGo is such great mashine, it can't understand the beauty of Baduk like human do. I will do my best to win this time.
- Good & bad points for AlphaGo?
(Demis Hasabis) Good point is that it can't feel fatigue and never fear for something. I think we can notice the bad point for AlphaGo by this match. I hope to get great experience to have this match with Lee SeDol 9P.
- Can both of you tell about intuition for Baduk?
(Lee SeDol) I am confident as AI would be impossible to follow human's intuition. But AI is being learning human's intuition somehow.
(Demis) Intuition is very important point for Baduk. I think this is the best challenge for AI to learn.
- What kind of message would you gie to human?
AlphaGo would provide to human with sustainable algorithm for studying. Whoever win this match, I think AlphaGo can be very useful to other industries such as health.
- It would be very dangerous if AI can be like human. When would it be and what kind of risks do we have for it?
(Demis) We think AI is kind of great tool. It depends on how we use it, not it is good or bad things. I think It would take several decades AI can be like human.
(Lee SeDol) Human can lose, but AI can't understand its beauty of Baduk. Baduk's value would be last long.
- Whoever win this match, can you learn something?
(Lee SeDol) this is great experience for me, It would be problem If I can't learn something by this.
- What are good points for human than AlphaGo?
Intuition and feeling. AI only could follow about 70~80% for human's.
