Free virtual screening of the film "AlphaGo" and asynchronous online discussion
Published: October 28, 2021
What can an AI game teach about humanity? We will hold a free virtual screening of the film "AlphaGo" between November 19-21, and an asynchronous online forum discussion on the film between November 17-23. This event was planned by May Carlon, a Tokyo Tech graduate, and will be held with co-sponsorship by ToTAL. The film can be viewed anytime between the viewing period.
On March 9 2016, the worlds of Go and artificial intelligence collided in South Korea for an extraordinary best-of-five-game competition, coined The Google DeepMind Challenge Match. Hundreds of millions of people around the world watched as a legendary Go master took on an unproven AI challenger for the first time in history. The film "AlphaGo" is a record of that legendary match. As the drama unfolds, more questions emerge: What can artificial intelligence reveal about a 3,000-year-old game? What can it teach us about humanity? (Please see the trailer below for reference.)
Participants are free to join the asynchronous online discussion, where they can text their questions and opinions on the film, and respond to comments of others.
