<h1>Humans vs. Machines: An AI Odyssey</h1>
<p><i>By <strong>Christopher Watkins</strong></i></p>

<em><strong>***Breaking News: AlphaGo has won the first two matches!***</strong> In this,
the third in our series on the epic Go matches being played between
AlphaGo (Google’s Artificial Intelligence software) and Lee Se-Dol
(Current Go World Champion), we look at the history of Humans vs.
Machines, and the innovations that have led us to this incredible
moment in time.</em>

<p>For as long as humans have built things, we’ve wrestled with the
implications of what we’ve built. In many cases, these philosophical
and ethical wrestlings have made for great drama—think Frankenstein, or
2001: A Space Odyssey. Often, the hypothetical scenarios we envision come
remarkably close to true, and the discoveries we’ve made in the fields of
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning make clear that a “computer
with a mind of its own” <s>is going to take over the world</s> not
such a fantastic thing to imagine any longer.</p>
<h2>The Triumph Of Deep Blue</h2>
<p>Perhaps this is why we are so captivated by human vs. machine competitions, because
the idea of being overcome by that which we’ve created speaks to something very
deep within our collective consciousness. When IBM’s Deep Blue faced off against
Garry Kasparov<sup>1</sup>, the event resulted
in more than <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/ibm100/us/en/icons/deepblue/">three
billion impressions</a> around the world, and when IBM’s later creation Watson challenged the
champions on Jeopardy, millions of viewers were glued to the proceedings.</p>
<h2>DeepMind’s AlphaGo</h2>
<p>Taking place right now, there is an event that, while not likely
to scale the same media heights, may in fact have far greater implications
when it comes to the future of “intelligent” machines. On March 9, in Seoul, South
Korea, a computing system know as AlphoGo (built by researchers at DeepMind—a Google
Artificial Intelligence lab) began <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2016/02/04/youtube-will-livestream-googles-ai-playing-go-superstar-lee-sedol-in-march/">a
five-game match</a> against Lee Se-dol, one of the very best players in the world at the ancient
game of Go.</p>
<p>Why is this so significant?</p>
<p>Here is how the DeepMind team explained it in their
paper <a href="http://airesearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/deepmind-mastering-go.pdf">Mastering the Game of Go with Deep Neural Networks and Tree Search</a>:</p>
<p><em>The game of Go has long been viewed as the most challenging of classic games
for artificial intelligence due to its enormous search space and the
difficulty of evaluating board positions and moves.</em></p>
<p>Put another way, winning
at Go is a kind of Holy Grail for those who strive to create machines that can
“think” on their own, because success at this uniquely complex game seems to
require something more than just skill, knowledge, and experience. It requires
intuition. Feel. Style. Characteristics we associate with humans, not with
machines.</p>

Chess Champion</p>

You've learned a lot about web development so far. I want you to take a moment to write
down your thoughts about web development here. Answer the following questions:

  • What new skills have you learned?
  • What has been easy?
  • What has been difficult?
  • How have you used the problem solving strategies from the first project to overcome challenges so far?

  • It was an intense mockup to an article experience. The learning basket I get from this
    have a lot of formatting text in an article like:

    • make paragraphs in order to split vertical the article
    • emphasising names in title text and bold formating them
    • insert images in the article connecting to an hyper-reference link
    • formating some words of a paragraph with strikeout line and superscript numbers
    • distinguish titles of paragraphs with different use of the heading tags like h1, h2
  • It was an easy task to do all of these manipulation of HTML.

  • It wasn't easy to search for tags in the MDN HTML Reference.

  • I use the strategy of start the mocking up job with the knowledge already have in my basket
    and then if I want something new for me, to do I research at the appropriate site of HTML tips and references.
