- March 15, 2016AlphaGo Defeats Lee SedolDeepMind's AlphaGo won its five-game series against Lee Sedol, one of the world's top Go players, 4–1. The combinatorial explosion of Go had long been thought to put a machine victory at least a decade away; the combination of Monte Carlo tree search and deep reinforcement learning broke that wall. Move 37 in Game 2—'the divine move'—introduced a placement so unlike anything a human player would have chosen that the professional Go community discussed it for weeks.
