A journey from the halls of Cambridge to Seoul, where a legendary Go master faces an unproven AI challenger.

On paper, a 90-minute documentary involving the playing of a 3,000-year-old Chinese board game wouldn't seem to lend itself to adjectives like "lively" and "compelling," but darned if Greg Kohs' "AlphaGo" isn't those things and more.

What are neural networks? I have no idea. But the team's delight in their creation is something any idiot can understand.

A thrilling documentary which pits man versus machine in a battle for superiority over an ancient Chinese game.

Rather than playing up the fears of man's imminent obsolescence in the face of artificial intelligence, the filmmakers instead elevate this doc to one that uses Go as a platform to explore and comment on the human condition.

There was something pure about this film. Maybe it’s because we’re all in the front row seat of this new AI roller coaster and we’re still not off the ride. It’s also compelling to watch a human wrestle with it. And it’s incredible we can benefit from that.
