Model ● Covered in 4 stories + Follow

AlphaGo is an AI system developed by DeepMind that defeated world champion Lee Sedol at Go in 2016, a landmark achievement that demonstrated AI could discover novel strategies beyond human expertise and marked the beginning of modern artificial intelligence. The techniques pioneered by AlphaGo have since been applied to diverse domains including protein folding through AlphaFold 2, mathematical reasoning, and algorithm discovery, with its reinforcement learning approach serving as a foundational example in the field.
