September 11, 2025
AlphaGo is going out on top. After beating Ke Jie, the world’s best player of the ancient Chinese board game Go,
for the third time
today at the
Future of Go Summit in Wuzhen
, Google’s DeepMind unit announced that it would be the last event match the AI plays. In a statement, DeepMind co-founder and co-CEO Demis Hassabis said the reason was that this week’s summit represented “the highest possible pinnacle for AlphaGo as a competitive program.” [1]
