This was an amazing story and the production is very well done. Thankful that YouTube recommended it.

I don’t want to give away too much about the story . It’s definitely worth watching to see for yourself. The topic is an AI Go player against the world champion Go player Lee Sedol from Korea.

It may sound boring, but the emotional and philosophical components were very intense. What we are seeing is the realization that computers will indeed outsmart humans, but also that we can learn from them.

I enjoyed seeing the anxiety and joy of the close-knit team of game creators and learning about the history and culture of an ancient game that is considered an art.

This is not a cold, factual documentary. It’s about the beautiful contrast between computers and the humans who use them.
