Artificial intelligence transcends hundreds of years of flag knowledge in 4 hours

AlphaZero chess program proficient in games, even creating extremely clever tactics.

DeepMind's AlphaZero program, a Google company, learns and transcends hundreds of years of human knowledge of chess in just 4 hours, Telegraph reported. Not only quickly mastering the game, AlphaZero also devised entirely new tactics. These tactics are being analyzed by chess champions.

Notably, AlphaZero taught himself how to play from scratch. It was only programmed with chess rules and had to find a way to win by playing around with yourself.

In 1997, IBM defeated the Russian chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov by programming the best moves. But AlphaZero is completely self-taught chess tactics.

British chess champion, Simon Williams, thinks this achievement can go down in history."On December 6, 2017, AlphaZero took over the chess world. After that, AlphaZero and DeepMind continued to dominate chess, solving games and eventually enslaving humans as pets , " he said. .

"Now we know who the new lord is. The playing AlphaZero games show it can calculate extremely creative moves. Their level of depth is far beyond anything human or play machines. The flag once came up, " said David Kramaley, the website operator who teaches Chessable chess playing, said.

"The program will definitely create a revolution in chess, but think about applications outside of this game. It can operate cities, continents, even the universe," he added.

The team at DeepMind wants to use the program's algorithm to solve major health problems. They believe that the program can devise treatments for serious illnesses in a few days or weeks, while humans may take hundreds of years.

The company has started using AlphaZero to study folding proteins and promises to announce new findings soon. The twisted protein structure is the cause of many serious diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and cystic fibrosis.
