The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games Chapter 612

Chapter 612 612. Boss Cao is bragging again

In 2001, it was a miracle that a young chess player under the age of 18 reached the finals of an international competition. However, in the fifth chess match against Lee Chang-ho, the "world's best player", he played the first two games and defeated him in one fell swoop. Being forced into a desperate situation shocked people even more.

This is a scene that happened at the 5th LG Cup World Chess Championship in 2001.

The protagonist of this story is Lee Sedol.

Two years later, Lee Sedol made a comeback and met Lee Chang-ho again.

Last time, Lee Chang Ho turned the tide and made a big comeback with three consecutive wins after two consecutive losses. But what about this time?

The first two games of the 7th LG Cup World Chess Championship finals will be held on the 25th and 27th. Previously, Lee Chang-ho defeated Kang Jo-jiu, Yoo Chang-hyuk, and Won Sung-chin; Lee Sese-seok defeated Lee Sang-hoon, Park Young-hun, and Cho Han-seung.

Lee Chang-ho is recognized as the "number one player in the world" in today's chess world.

Lee Sedol is 8 years younger than Lee Chang-ho.

In the past, many media, including chess players in the industry, analyzed Lee Chang-ho and always hoped that a chess player could become his real opponent.

This opponent needs to be very close to him in chess ability, very different in chess style from him, and not too big in age gap with him.

In order to wait for such a rival, Lee Chang-ho has been alone for nearly ten years.

Stone Buddha Lee Chang-ho can be said to be one of the two great gods in the Go world.

There are two insurmountable peaks in the field of Go. One is the Chinese "Go Master" Wu Qingyuan, and the other is Lee Chang-ho, known as the "Stone Buddha".

At this time, Lee Sedol appeared. He had good conditions to become Lee Chang-ho's real opponent - his chess style was agile and wild, and he was informal in his conduct, which was in sharp contrast to the rigorous and sophisticated Lee Chang-ho.

At the same time, with Lee Chang-ho's dedication to chess, he must be an "evergreen tree", and Lee Sedol is also as precocious as Lee Chang-ho back then, which just makes the 8-year-old gap between them not an obstacle to confrontation.

The year before last, Lee Sedol reached the LG Cup finals and lost to Lee Chang-ho in a huge comeback; last year, he reached the Fujitsu Cup finals and played an aggressive Go game with Liu Chang-hyuk, defeating Liu Chang-hyuk with little power to fight back, and won his first world championship. At the same time, he also won the reputation of "the world's best attacker" from Liu.

This time, he hit Lee Chang-ho again, and he was no longer "Wu Xia Amon". What he wants to fight for is the plaque of "the first person in the world".

Although this final is a "civil war" between chess players from one country, it will be century-level in terms of excitement, intensity and attention.

So you can imagine how strong the reaction will be when the outside world learns that Bomi's artificial intelligence will challenge the top player in the Go world.

For the current Go world, Lee Sedol is the well-deserved number one in the world.

Just like looking forward to the emergence of a player who can defeat Lee Chang-ho, the current Go world is also looking forward to the emergence of such a person.

Although he appears later, his name is Ke Jie.

But it's only 2010 now, and Ke Jie is still a 13-year-old kid.

But this year, Ke Jie also showed extraordinary strength, but it has not yet fully blossomed and been seen by the world.

Some geniuses are destined to be different from the start.

It's a pity that Ke Jie has already suffered a severe beating from Bomi's Go master.

This made him doubt his life.

"What?! Bomi's artificial intelligence wants to challenge Lee Sedol?"

"I don't know who Lee Sedol is, but I don't understand. When did Bomi research artificial intelligence?"

"Wow, you Bomi, you Cao Yang, how come you entered the field of artificial intelligence without saying a word?"

The media also conducted a special interview with Cao Yang, CEO of Bomi Company.

"I would like to ask Mr. Cao Yang, is the news you released this time that artificial intelligence will fight against Lee Sedol, the current number one player in the Go world, in the field of Go? Is it true?"

"It's true." Cao Yang replied, "Maybe many people don't know it yet, and many people even find it strange. When did Bomi Company get involved in the field of artificial intelligence?

Why was there no news before?

In fact, in the past few years, we have been conducting research on artificial intelligence. This plan was already written in the prospectus when our company went public in 2007.

That is to say, as early as 2007, or even earlier, I think it was 2006, I was already discussing the future with the company's CTO. The company's CTO at that time was Mr. Liu Guangran, and I was already studying the future with him. How to do artificial intelligence, how to carry out research on cloud computing and big data.

It was precisely based on some of our views on the future that we established the Bomi Technology Research Institute at that time, with the purpose of cooperating with major universities to develop artificial intelligence and open up a new era of big data.

This concept is very popular now. At the beginning, it mainly came from Google. Google is a very great company. They have made outstanding contributions to the programming field around the world.

We also got inspiration from Google's discussions about the future of cloud computing, and that's why we wanted to get involved in this field. "

Cao Yang continued, "When Bomi Scientific Research Institute was established, I proposed three topics to Liu Guangran. First, make a bridge AI that can be indistinguishable to real people, which means that it can pass Turing to some extent. Extent of testing.

Now it seems that the strategy and confrontation of bridge are more complicated than that of Go.

So it's not perfect yet.

The second topic is to ask Liu Guangran and others to build a Go AI. As for how far it can achieve it, we actually have no idea, but we want to find the current optimal solution based on the complexity of Go. reach this level.

As for how to verify it?

I don't understand Go myself, and Liu Guangran is considered an amateur. We may not be able to test the true strength of Bomi's Go master.

Yes, the name of this AI software is [Bomi Go Master].

So since we can't measure its true strength ourselves, what should we do? I would like to ask if we can invite some high-level professional chess players to help us.

Therefore, Bomi Go Master received a lot of help from the National Go Association during the research and development process, such as Tang Hui 6th Dan, Gu Li 9th Dan, and Fu Hui 5th Dan. They are our regular customers of Go Master and they help us test They have created many different versions of AI and made a lot of contributions to us. I would like to express my deep gratitude to them here.

Thanks to the National Go Association, otherwise there would not be the current Bomi Go masters. "

"This time, I actually want to thank Mr. Li Sedol. When he heard that we invited him to do a human-machine Go challenge, he readily agreed."

"Because, you know, this is actually a very stressful thing and requires a lot of courage."

Of course, there may be another factor in this -

It's just that Lee Sedol has never played against the Go master Bomi before, so he probably heard Chinese chess players talking about this thing.

But judging from his ambition, he most likely does not think that AI can defeat humans.

So I think we should face it this time, otherwise it will be easy to be looked down upon by the outside world.

"As for how far the current Bomi Go master can reach, we actually can't say." Cao Yang smiled and said, "According to the estimation of Chief Engineer Liu Guangran, he should be able to compete with the world champion Mr. Lee Sedol at 73. "

Cao Yang didn't say anything. In fact, he couldn't tell what the current Bomi Go master's chances of winning were. His main confidence came from the fact that Bomei Go master had a 100% victory against Ke Jie.

But it's hard to say how big the difference is between the current 13-year-old Ke Jie and the future 18-year-old world champion Ke Jie.

So Cao Yang gave an opinion of 73 Kai.

The reporter friend didn't seem to understand very well, so he asked, "So you mean to say that Lee Sedol has a 70% winning rate, and then Bomi Go master is 30% sure that he can beat him, right?"

"Um…"

Cao Yang frowned.

How much do you look down on our company?

You must know that the learning time and learning cost of AI cannot be judged by normal people's standards. It may take a Go master ten years to grow from 0 to nine levels.

But for the Bomi Go master with the improved strategy, his learning time is much shorter than that of normal humans.

It can directly use the global network and use all servers of Bomi for cloud computing.

And Bomi Go Master, it is equivalent to being able to study more than millions of Go games in one second, or even more.

Under this circumstance, the Bomi Go master based on the deep learning algorithm is growing at an extremely fast rate.

In fact, no one knows how far it has grown now.

"I mean, Bomi's Go master's winning rate is 70%. I estimate it conservatively."

"ha?!"

The reporter friend was dumbfounded.

What nonsense is this? !

Is Boss Cao so confident?

Because according to their knowledge, there was a saying that had been circulated in the field of computer AI -

Go is a very, very complex intellectual sport. This complexity is n times more complex than chess, or hundreds of times N.

So if you want to surpass the human champion, it will take at least 10 to 20 years.

Including Google, which started relatively early in the field of artificial intelligence, they also feel that it will take at least 6 to 7 years to defeat Lee Sedol.

Now the boss of Bomi Company is so bold that his company's artificial intelligence actually has a 70% winning rate in games.

The journalist friend couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

At the same time, I was secretly glad.

Boss Cao is indeed the darling of the media. At least this interview is enough to ignite the topic tomorrow.

Finally, before ending the interview, the reporter asked Cao Yang one last question:

"Mr. Cao Yang, if it is true as you said, Bomi's artificial intelligence will defeat Lee Sedol."

Although she thinks this possibility is very low, if it does exist, there must be a manuscript to write.

There is a step down.

"So, does it mean that humans have been surpassed by artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence will replace humans in the future?"

Cao Yang thought for a moment and said, "That's not the case.

In fact, I think everyone can have expectations for technology, and there is no need to be so hostile, because technology represents productivity, and productivity must move forward.

Artificial intelligence represents future development. The improvement of development technology will bring more and better products and services to our lives and our future, making the entire world a better place.

In fact, no matter who wins then, it will actually be a victory for mankind, because even if the Go master Bomi wins, it is just a human who has taught the machine to defeat the human Go master. For artificial intelligence, there is still a long way to go. "
