AlphaGo is an AI algorithm made by DeepMind, the division of Google which for the first time in history have created a general purpose AI. AlphaGo succeeded in beating human beings at the end shunt board game of Go. Like chess, this game has an almost infinite possible moves, so the program cannot use brute force for deciding on the next move. This video explains they speak learning algorithm used by DeepMind for creating these general purpose AI application.
An interesting point is that sometimes if you ask a human expert how he did a task he may reply that it just felt the right thing to do. He cannot explain why he chose that path. This is what we call intuition and this is what deep learning is all about. In this video, it is explained how intuition is incorporated into AI learning algorithms.
