AlphaGo Defeats Chinese Prodigy Yet Again

Google's artificial intelligence (AI) system AlphaGo has defeated the world's top human player in a yet another match, held today in Wuzhen, Zhejiang.

Defeating top ranked player Ke Jie for the second time this week, AlphaGo automatically won the best-of-three series.

The 19-year-old Chinese prodigy started off strong, with AlphaGo evaluating his skills as being "perfect" towards the beginning of the match.

But as the match went on, Ke made a "critical mistake," allowing the AI system to jump ahead.

The final game of the series will take place on Saturday, when we'll find out if AlphaGo will let Ke win a round for once.

Previously, AlphaGo defeated top player Lee Se-dol of South Korea 4-1 in 2016.
