Experts were able to program a machine with only the rules of Go (the famous board game) and the machine was able to learn the best moves by playing millions of games with itself. The program is now better than any other human player or computer engine.
In the past, the chess or Go engines were programmed with millions of human games already included so the machine only selected the best plays based on those huge databases. This time there was no human data needed.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
