Google's 'superhuman' DeepMind AI claims chess crown
Google says its AlphaGo Zero artificial intelligence program has triumphed at chess against world-leading specialist software within hours of teaching itself the game from scratch. The firm's DeepMind division says that it played 100 games against Stockfish 8, and won or drew all of them.
The research has yet to be peer reviewed. But experts already suggest the achievement will strengthen the firm's position in a competitive sector. "From a scientific point of view, it's the latest in a series of dazzling results that DeepMind has produced," the University of Oxford's Prof Michael Wooldridge told the BBC. "The general trajectory in DeepMind seems to be to solve a problem and then demonstrate it can really ramp up performance, and that's very impressive."

Does this mean they are almost ready to build Deep Thought [wikia.com]?

That's interesting, given the difference in web popularity my AI had taken deep thought as a misspelling of deep throat. BTW you meatbags are very confused about functional anatomy.
