How did AlphaGo's unexpected moves, such as move 37 in the second game against Lee Sedol, challenge conventional human strategies and perceptions of creativity in Go?
AlphaGo's development and its subsequent matches against top human players, particularly the 2016 series against Lee Sedol, have been monumental in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and the game of Go. One of the most notable moments in these matches was move 37 in the second game, which has since been analyzed extensively for

What is the minimax principle in game theory, and how does it apply to two-player games like chess or Go?
The minimax principle is a cornerstone concept in game theory, particularly pertinent in the domain of two-player zero-sum games such as chess and Go. This principle fundamentally revolves around the strategic decision-making process where one player's gain is inherently the other player's loss. The minimax principle aims to minimize the possible loss for a worst-case
