Ke Jie on 開放新中國 Interview

開放新中國完整版　18歲橫空出世！　獨訪「陸棋王柯潔」

由Google所開發的人工智慧系統AlphaGo，在今年跟南韓職業棋士李世石的人­機大戰，掀起了人工智慧話題，成為全球的焦點，最後李世石落敗，而且是潰不成軍。李世­石曾 經是大陸棋王柯 的手下敗將，所以目前電腦團隊正在向柯潔拍板叫陣，那一頭，只見­ 柯潔接招接得氣定神閒，口 很大，自信滿滿，他在微博上放話說，就算AlphaGo贏­得了李世石，也贏不了我，他的狂妄不羈 他的棋風一樣，向來是個人的獨特標誌。

Man vs Machine has stirred a great amount of attention as World Champion Lee Sedol got defeated. Not to mention Lee Sedol already  had not won Ke Jie in most recent championship making Ke Jie the current number one player in the world (www.goratings.org).  On Ke Jie‘s blog, he had announced “despite Alphago could win Lee Sedol, the machine will not able to defeat me.”

This announcement on his blog had drawn many media attention to interview him.
