I don't imagine many play Go - its a board game that is many, many degrees more complex than chess. Some have said it has more possible plays in it than there are molecules in the universe.
Google has developed an AI that is tearing the best human Go champions a new one. Not surprising, since it is computer vs. human in what is essentially a maths game. But what impressed me (and scared me tbh) is how Alpha Go is able to make very human-like feints in its moves that toppled the grandmasters.
This has been making the top news in my neck of the woods, not (yet another) nuclear missile crisis or the threat of hellfire from 300mm artillery pieces. (Can you guess where I am?)
