2017: DeepMind’s year in review

In July, the world number one Go player Ke Jie spoke after a streak of 20 wins. It was two months after he had played AlphaGo at the Future of Go Summit in Wuzhen, China.After my match against AlphaGo, I fundamentally reconsidered the game, and now I can see that this reflection has helped me greatly, he said. I hope all Go players can contemplate AlphaGos understanding of the game and style of thinking, all of which is deeply meaningful. Although I lost, I discovered that the possibilities of Go are immense and that the game has continued to progress.
