 use, and hard to integrate. Historically, only big firms such as Walmart or Best Buy have had enough sway, and bargaining power, to force their suppliers to adopt them. Once put in place, these systems still require a bastion of specialists to constantly monitor, tweak, and recommend managerial actions as well as cascade them throughout an organization.

In contrast, the team that developed AlphaGo had fewer than 50 people. The program itself is relatively lightweight, requires little human intervention once set up, and is deployable across different problem domains.

It is easy to imagine a world where self-taught algorithms will play a much bigger role in coordinating economic transactions; AlphaGo simply shows us what is possible in the near future. With instantaneous adjustment, automatic optimization, and continuous improvement all quietly managed by unsupervised algorithms, the redundancy of production facilities and wastage in the supply chain should become headaches of the past. Freed from the pressure to vertically integrate and with far fewer resources needed for organizational coordination, smaller players will be able to specialize in best-in-class services and deliver extremely customized solutions in real time when specific demands arise.

The questions looming for large, nontech companies are: 1) What are the core competencies of my organization when size no longer matters? 2) How much of my organization’s managerial expertise is entirely dedicated to market coordination? 3) If new competitors replicate these capabilities by replacing human experts with machine algorithms, what is my cost structure compared to theirs? 4) Going forward, what new offering can I extend if product distribution is democratized? 5) Can I partner with new players to recombine my current capabilities to enter new markets?

Most exciting to me is the even larger prospect of embedding AlphaGo-like machine learning into the backbone of the global economy. When algorithms that never stop learning link loosely related companies, NGOs, and government agencies, they may enable the emergence of new ecosystems that tackle the most difficult societal problems — those currently fumbled by the complexity and fragmentation of players in the field — like energy, transportation, health care, and education.

 It is comfortable to imagine a earth where self - taught algorithm will play a much bigger role in coordinate economic transactions; AlphaGo simply shows us what is possible in the near future. With instantaneous allowance, automatic optimization, and continuous improvement all quietly managed by unsupervised algorithms, the redundancy of production facilities and wastage in the supply chain should become headaches of the past. Freed from the pressure to vertically desegregate and with far few resources needed for organizational coordination, smaller actor will be able to specialize in best - in - class service and deliver extremely customized solutions in veridical time when specific demands arise.

 Most exciting to me is the even larger prognosis of embedding AlphaGo - comparable machine learning into the backbone of the global economy. When algorithms that never stop learning link loosely associate companies, NGOs, and government agency, they may enable the emergence of new ecosystems that tackle the most difficult social problems — those currently fumbled by the complexity and fragmentation of players in the field — like energy, transportation, health caution, and department of education.
