Redefining our Future

‘Go’ is an abstract strategy board game, in which two players try to surround more territory than their opponent. Despite its relatively simple rules, the game is actually much more complex than even chess.

In Chess, there are 10120 possible games scenario, whereas Go has 10761. It is one of the most hardest and complex games on the market today.

There is one individual, Lee Sedol, who is known as the Go champion. He has won tournament after tournament until he faced one of his biggest competitors, a Google’s Deepmind artificial intelligence program, called AlphaGo.

Out of four games played, Lee has only won one time. Google was able to create a code that is almost unstoppable in one of the most complex games ever made.

The super computer has the ability to breakdown every possible move with vigorous calculations. The strength of the technology is significant.

This technology can be expanded to possibly help world issues and other large estimates in the future. Google’s continuous development and research of products that would be beneficial to the economy, is a business model that every company should follow.

It is difficult to continue to have success by selling the same product over and over. The market will be filled with that product and consumers will no longer have a need for it.

As a result, a fruitful company understands that it must always invest a portion of its products in research and development to produce better products and new technologies that have not yet been introduced into the market.

There is always room for improvement and the rapidly growing technology age will only open up new doors for new opportunities.
