Lee Sedol 9th Dan
Lee Se-dol, a 9-dan player who was once the number one player in the world of baduk, expressed his opinion that the game of baduk has changed a lot before and after the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) AlphaGo.
'Google Korea' recently released an interview video with 9th Dan Lee Sedol to commemorate its 20th anniversary on the 19th.
In the video released this time, 9th Dan Lee Sedol expressed his views on AI, recalling his match against Google DeepMind's Go program AlphaGo in 2016.
Lee Sedol, 9th dan, faced off against AlphaGo in the match of the century in 2016 with much anticipation. However, contrary to expectations, Lee Sedol, 9th Dan, struggled against AlphaGo, and ended up finishing the match with 1 win and 4 losses.
Lee Sedol, 9th Dan, said, “There was a great sense of disconnect. “It’s completely different from humans,” he said. “Take tennis as an example, it felt like hitting a ball against a wall. I was very embarrassed during the first episode. “I felt like I was very well placed,” he said, looking back on eight years ago.
Lee Sedol, 9th Dan, who had lost three times in a row at the time, won in the 4th country. Lee Sedol's first win is also AlphaGo's only loss so far.
Lee Se-dol, 9th Dan, laughed and said, “I felt relieved because I had lost three times in a row, especially in the third country, so I was mentally exhausted,” and added, “I think I saved my face by winning in the fourth country.” Lee Se-dol, who was a Baduk player representing Korea and the world, left the Baduk world in 2019 and is taking a different path. Sedol Lee, 9th Dan, said, “AI played a large part in my retirement. “After retirement, I am interested in and studying various fields, including generative AI,” he said. Sedol Lee, 9th dan, said, “With the advent of AI, Baduk has become like having to find the correct answer. “It seems like the artistry has faded,” he said. “The baduk notation has also completely changed before and after the advent of AlphaGo. “The notation of the past has no longer had any special value other than for studying the history of Baduk,” he said. Regarding AI, 9th Dan Lee Sedol said, “Because AI is needed in the current world, we must control the speed and move towards solving ethical issues with clear principles. “We should not have a view of fearing AI already,” he argued. “We should not have a view of fearing AI in advance.” He continued, “Technology will continue to advance regardless of human fears. “It would be difficult to imagine a future without AI technology,” he said, adding, “AI technology is absolute.” 토토사이트
