Game 1
A Google-developed supercomputer stunned South Korean Go grandmaster Lee Se-Dol by taking the first game of a five-match showdown between man and machine in Seoul on Wednesday.
After about 3-1/2 hours of play, Lee, one of the greatest players of the ancient board game in the modern era, resigned when it became clear the AlphaGo computer had taken an unassailable lead.
"I was shocked by the result," Lee acknowledged afterwards.
"AlphaGo made some moves that no human would ever make. It really surprised me," he said, adding that the computer had shut out the game "in a perfect manner."
The most famous AI victory to date came in 1997, when the IBM-developed supercomputer Deep Blue beat the then-world class chess champion Garry Kasparov.
But experts say Go presents an entirely different challenge as the complexity of the game and almost incalculable number of move options mean that the computer must be capable of human-like "intuition" to prevail.
"Go really is our Mount Everest," said Hassabis, adding that the public response to the clash with Lee had been "far bigger than we expected."
When Lee first accepted the AI challenge, he had confidently predicted a clear-cut win, saying that AlphaGo's performance against Fan had been nowhere near good enough to defeat him.
Game 2
Google DeepMinds AlphaGo has won its second Go game against professional player Lee Sedol. The victory puts the AI at a convincing lead in the $1 million human-computer tournament, which will consist of five games in total.
Yesterday I was surprised, but today I am more than that; I am quite speechless, Sedol said in a videoed post-match press conference. He said that it was a clear loss on his part, and that he never felt like he had the upper hand in the game.
Today I really feel that AlphaGo played a near-perfect game; there was not a moment where I thought AlphaGos moves were unreasonable, he said.

BTW, never forget to program these:
1. A computer may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A computer must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A computer must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws
For military computers which don't include #1 and #2, never give them exclusive control of nukes or you might get this:

and a manually operated power switch is a must.
