Artificial intelligence eventually surpassed humans in the ancient Chinese board game Go as Google's computer program AlphaGo won 3-0 over South Korean Lee Sedol, the world Go champion in the past 10 years, dashing the remaining hopes for reversal in a historic five-game match.

AlphaGo, a computer program developed by Google's London-based AI subsidiary DeepMind, won the third consecutive game in the match with Lee, one of the greatest Go players who has won 18 world championships for 21 years of his professional career.

在位于首尔的四季酒店中,于周六下午一点开始的第三场比赛,该计算机程序保持了长达四小时的无可争议的领先。随后33岁的李世石宣布认输。

无论剩下的两场比赛李世石能否取胜,AlphaGo的开发者都将会赢取100万的奖金,而该奖金将会捐给慈善机构。
