AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol (March 2016)
In 2016, AlphaGo managed to win a series of games of Go 4-1 against South Korea's world-class player Lee Sedol.
The final winner was already determined as Lee lost the first three games of the five-game match. AlphaGo won a $1 million prize, which was then donated to charities.
The human Go champion beat the artificial intelligence (AI), developed by Google's London-based AI subsidiary DeepMind, in the fourth match; however, Lee was defeated once again in the final match.
