这是人类战胜机器的时刻,世界围棋冠军终于设法打败了谷歌(Google)的AlphaGo计算机,上周他在这种发源于中国的古老棋类游戏的“人机对战”中连输三局。
Mark one up for man over the machine. The world champion of the ancient Chinese board game of Go has finally found a way to beat Google’s AlphaGo computer, after losing three straight games last week.
10年来保持着世界排名第一的韩国棋手李世石(Lee Se-Dol)对自己的首场胜利感到高兴,尽管AlphaGo已经稳拿这轮五局对弈的100万美元奖金。在周二举行最后一局比赛后,这笔钱将捐献给慈善机构。
Lee Se-dol, the South Korean who has been the top Go player for a decade, was delighted at his first victory, although AlphaGo had already clinched the $1m prize in the best-of-five series. The money will be donated to charity after the final game is held on Tuesday.
“这只是一局比赛。我从来没有因为赢得一盘棋而得到这么多祝贺,”李世石在周日赛后对记者们表示。这局比赛是在首尔举行的。
“It’s just one game. I’ve never been congratulated so much just because I won one game,” Mr Lee told reporters after the match on Sunday in Seoul.
“这场胜利非常宝贵,我不会拿它与世界上其它任何东西交换,”这位33岁的九段棋手满脸笑容地表示。李世石承认,此前他低估了AlphaGo的技能,但他表示,该软件并不完美。
“This win is invaluable and I would not trade it for anything else in the world,” the 33-year-old grandmaster said with a big smile. Mr Lee acknowledged he had underestimated AlphaGo’s skills, but said the software was not perfect.
开发AlphaGo的谷歌DeepMind的首席执行官杰米斯•哈萨比斯(Demis Hassabis)表示,这场比赛的结果将带来宝贵收获,让他的团队发现和解决AlphaGo的弱点。
Demis Hassabis, chief executive of Google Deepmind, the developer of the computer program, said the match result would provide a valuable lesson for his team to identify and address AlphaGo’s weakness.
“他今天对我们太强大了,AlphaGo在压力之下出了一个错,之后再也无法恢复局面,”哈萨比斯在Twitter上表示。
“He was too good for us today and pressured AlphaGo into a mistake that it couldn’t recover from,” Mr Hassabis tweeted.
