AI, a film charting the progress of the eponymous AlphaGo programme that defeated world Go champion Lee Sedol, has debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. The film, which is directed by Greg Kohs, charts the stories of both the development team at Google DeepMind responsible for building and training the AlphaGo, and those of the Go players – including European champion Fan Hui and world champion Lee Sedol – as they grapple with the realisation that the AlphaGo has exceeded their expertise.
