Although AlphaZero could play Chess and GO and Shogi and the entire suite of Atari games at a superhuman level, some said its range of expertise was too narrow to be called true AI. But now AlphaZero, or rather the latest update of it renamed "MuZero", has found a video compression algorithm, which YouTube has just started to use, that is able to reduce the bandwidth by 4% compared with the algorithm they had used previously with no noticeable decrease in video quality; 4% might not sound like much but they had already been using the most advanced algorithm available so wringing out another 4% was not easy, and for a user as enormous as YouTube 4% can result in a savings of many millions of dollars a month. MuZero found a practical algorithm that no human was able to discover, if a human had discovered it nobody would object to calling it an act of intelligence.
