Google's DeepMind's AlphaGo artificial intelligence (AI) unit is set to take on the newest world number one Go player, 19-year-old Ke Jie, at next month's Future of Go Summit in China, Wuzhen. Ke will participate in a three-match contest with AlphaGo, which beat former Go world champion Lee Se-dol four to one in a five-game match last year. Five of Wuzhen’s top pros will also team up against the AI, and in a pro-vs-pro game, each player will alternate with an AlphaGo teammate. The AI has already defeated Ke in a handful of unofficial online matches.
