Lee Sedol, the renowned Go player, will compete against an AI model he developed himself, marking the 10th anniversary of his historic match against AlphaGo.
Lee Sedol, a top Go player, is set to face an artificial intelligence model he personally created at a special event. This match will take place at the same venue, the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul, where his famous 2016 encounter with Google's AlphaGo occurred. In that historic match, AlphaGo defeated Sedol, achieving a groundbreaking victory that shocked audiences worldwide. Following that event, Sedol retired from professional Go in December 2019 after a subsequent match against another AI, HanDol.
This upcoming match promises to showcase not only Sedol's skills but also the advancements in artificial intelligence. During the event, Sedol will lead the creation of a new Go model solely through voice commands, interacting live with the AI agent. This innovative approach allows him to design and execute the model without needing to write code, demonstrating the AI's capacity to handle complex tasks such as planning and execution in real-time. The AI agent's ability to assist humans in various tasks has made it a focal point in the current AI service industry.
Enhance, the startup organizing the event, emphasizes that this demonstration will provide insights into how AI agents operate in practical scenarios. As Sedol engages with the AI, he aims to illustrate the evolving relationship between humans and AI within the sphere of strategy games like Go, highlighting both the potential benefits and challenges posed by such technologies.
