2016: AlphaGO

DeepMind was acquired by Google for $525 million in 2014. It specializes in game algorithms, with its mission being to "solve intelligence", and then use this intelligence to "solve all other problems". DeepMind's AlphaGo defeated the world Go champion Lee Sedol in 2016. This was a historic moment, marking the surpassing of human intelligence in the game of Go, a game with a long history and high complexity. This event had a profound impact on human understanding of machine intelligence and its future possibilities.
