Google's AlphaGo is slowly but surely becoming the best Go player in the world, with one key difference: Unlike other top players, it's not human. It's an artificial intelligence.

Kicking off The Future of Go Summit event, held from May 23-27 in Wuzhen, China, AlphaGo beat Ke Jie, world champion and number one ranked Go player.

It was a narrow win, by just half a point, and Ke Jie will have a chance to redeem himself in the next two games, which will be played on May 25 and 27. But the stage is set: AlphaGo, which won 4 games to 1 against legendary Go player Lee Sedol in 2016, has not only earned its right to sit at the table with the greatest; it is the player to beat.

Even more interestingly, AlphaGo's unconventional tactics appear to have changed the way top players play the game.

According to Demis Hassabis, Founder & CEO of DeepMind, the Google-owned company which created AlphaGo, Ke Jie started the game using the same strategies AlphaGo had recently used in some of its games.

Over the course of the next few days, we'll see whether Ke Jie can further modify his tactics to beat AlphaGo and whether AlphaGo can adapt its strategy to counter.

AlphaGo will play a few more games over the next few days, the most interesting of which is perhaps the team tournament on May 26, when five players will combine their powers in order to defeat Google's AI.
