Very nice documentary about the human vs. AI event. Made me so excited about Go that I going to start playing it now. However, as an AI developer I would have wanted it to include more technical aspects of the algorithm. I think that they missed a big opportunity to popularize reinforcement learning.

How much good alphago brough to this art, despite the early suffering it caused, is just amazing. A truely magnificent documentary!

An emotional story. Really glad I watched AlphaGo, which has the pace and twists and turns of a sports movie - not what I expected from a movie about AI! The team behind AlphaGo seemed really cool and genuinely sad when Lee lost. Would love to see a movie about what happened to AlphaGo after this match!

I've never played Go. I need to rectify this. There's a beautiful simplicity to it, but one that's also incredibly complicated. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but perhaps that's why it's considered the ultimate test of AI intelligence. Can a computer beat the best players in the world? There's nothing especially innovative about the film itself, but the story is really interesting, not least in who you root for, human or AI. That's not the only match up though, the human player, world champion Lee Sedol is from South Korea, a place where Go is a huge deal and top players are celebrities, he's playing for national pride as well as his own. The AlphaGo team, for professional pride. There's a lot on the line and the tension is palpable... oh and the match is televised live with millions watching! 80 million in fact. The purists don't believe the AI can overcome the fluidity of the human mind and it's quite amusing to watch perceptions shift and admiration build. I will say that the production is fantastic, cameras everywhere and tons of commentary not only on the game, but on what the outcomes mean, for AI, for humans, for the future, it really pulls you into the magnitude of what's unfolding. There are heartbreaking moments of real upset which is quite remarkable in two worlds of Go and AI that are seemingly on the surface devoid of emotion. The game, the story, the human ingenuity be it direct or via machine is quite remarkable. Human + machine = An exciting future. Now I just need to buy a board.

A classic case of man versus machine, without the science fiction. Awesome viewing experience that has you rooting for both sides at various points. Never heard of the game Go before viewing and still have yet to play it, that should be testament to how well the human side of the story is conveyed.

FrancineNov 22, 2022

I love the overview that it gives to the watcher about the subject of artificial intelligence. Although it is still in its infancy, AI has accomplished, so far, major breakthroughs. The DeepMind team behind AlphaGo had an extreme sense of understanding, but through learning and experience, about how this games functions and operates. After all, AI is not truly that artificial, cause it still relies on its human "gene" to develop from a low stage to a better one, further and further.

Freda LumangaNov 22, 2022

This movie is so much more than a clash between humans and machines. The story brings deep human emotions among world class Go players, the DeepMind team who developed AlphaGo, and the public in general.

Kwesi 👌Clem 😜Nov 22, 2022

I knew about Go but not the complexities of the game. This is more about AI but what it means to be human. The European champion won my heart Just thrilling amazing production.
