Neural networks are not about artificial intelligence, but about artificial intuition. As you said, AlphaGo -a neural network application- can not answer the question why you did that move?.
If they could answer, the answer would be ever the same: " I don´t know, I moved this because if found some patterns that are very close to this new one, so I did this move that produced a win at the end within those patterns". That does not qualify as intelligence. For me, the appropriate name is intuition. 2017-10-21 3:46 GMT+02:00 John Clark <[email protected]>: > Google reports in the current issue of the journal Nature that it has a > new greatly improved Go program called "AlphaGo Zero" that is now the most > powerful GO program in the world.
