AlphaGo vs. Ke Jie is scheduled for May: Does Chinese No.1 Go master player has any chances against Googles AI?After a lot of speculation in the recent months, its been confirmed lately that DeepMinds AlphaGo will takes on worlds top Go player Ke Jie in China in a three-game match starting May 23. It will be AlpaGos second official match after in march last year it took on and defeated one of the worlds top Go players, Lee Sedol. So, can Ke Jie do any better?
Well, hardly. In fact, back in January AlphaGo secretly (like an unknown player called Master) played 60 online matches against some of the world's best players, including Ke Jie who was defeated three times, and didn't lose a single one. Still, after those losses Ke Jie hasnt given up hope, claiming that he still has one last move to defeat AlphaGo.
Will AlphaGo beat Ke Jie in the three-game match planned for May 2017?
Predict at Fairlay: https://fairlay.com/market/will-alphago-beat-ke-jie-in-the-three-game-match-planned-for-may-2017-1/.Now, that one last move for 19-year-old Ke Jie will be three matches on the 23rd, 25th and 27th of May. Though, after his first two losses to Master in recent days, he acknowledged that humans are no match for AI in this game. It was change in opinion after Ke had been confident that AlphaGo could not beat him after the AIs March victory over Sedol.
What is even worse for Ke Jie is that he will not play against AlpaGos version that defeated Sedol. In fact, the AlphaGo that played against Lee Sedol was v18. The Master that achieved 60-0 was v25. And it was already noted that it will be the newest version playing against Ke Jie in May. He will have a really hard job,
so do you give him any chances to win?
