In games against the 2015 version, which famously beat Lee Sedol, the South Korean grandmaster, AlphaGo Zero won 100 to 0. Because AlphaGo Zero learns on its own from a blank slate, its talents can now be turned to a host of real-world problems. Facebook Twitter Pinterest David Silver describes how the Go playing AI program, AlphaGo Zero, discovers new knowledge from scratch. When AlphaGo Zero plays a good move, it is more likely to be rewarded with a win. AlphaGo Zero starts with no knowledge, but progressively gets stronger and stronger as it learns the game of Go.
