DeepMind's go AI, called AlphaGo, has beaten the European champion with a score of 5-0. A match against top ranked human, Lee Se-dol, is scheduled for March.

Games are a great testing ground for developing smarter, more flexible algorithms that have the ability to tackle problems in ways similar to humans. Creating programs that are able to play games better than the best humans has a long history

[...]

But one game has thwarted A.I. research thus far: the ancient game of Go.

If, despite lots of effort, we couldn't create a program that could beat any human in go, wouldn't this be evidence that we were far away from creating smarter-than-human AI?

Are you asking me if I know what the law of iterated expectations is? I do.
