Chapter 57 Artificial Intelligence
Two months passed in a flash, and 10 days had passed since the summer vacation.

The Xiaozheng score of "Soul of Chess" hovered between 4-7, and gradually found its position.

Asahina Yuko has finished the animation, and now only the post-dubbing is left.

I consulted Tetsuya Endo, and the other party said that there are many voice actor training schools in Hachioji City, where I can find some students to dub.

Participating in a student animation competition, if the dubbing is too good, it will be a low score item, which will give the judges a feeling that they want to win.

In addition, voice actors and dubbing are more professional, so the judges will also use professionalism to request works.

So Akemi Akimiya drove and accompanied Yuko Asahina to the school recommended by Tetsuya Endo.

Higashino Hibiki did not go with him, so there is not much more than him, so let's stay in "Yoshihara-so" and continue to draw manga.

"Hachioji City?" He raised his head abruptly, and suddenly realized that his younger sister Mei Higashino went to high school in Hachioji City.

At the beginning, she said that she was reluctant to part with a good friend, and her grades were just right, so she let her go.

Mei suddenly went uncharacteristically and no longer relied on his brother. After inheriting the memory of "Hirobi Higashino", he was quite disappointed.

"I thought about it earlier, so I went together." Higashino shook his head and continued to draw manga.

This time, he wanted to revise the content of "Soul of Chess".

After all, Yumi Horita created the original work in 1997, and her vision is 2022. It is absolutely possible to draw "Soul of Chess" closer to the future.

It echoes with the future Go.

After 2017, ordinary people know the power of artificial intelligence.

In the comment area of ​​Ke Jie, the eight-time champion, there will always be netizens ringing the bell:
"May 2017th, 5 was the last day of the Wuzhen Go Summit. Facing AlphaGo, Ke Jie tried his best to no avail. In the end, he surrendered.

Hope everyone knows. "

It would be too paranoid not to draw the most famous turning point in the modern history of Go.

The whole story of "Soul of Chess" is chasing the realm of "God's Hand".

In an instant, he broke through his Go realm and made an incredible move.

People are like this, and AI can naturally do it too.

In the future, it is not necessarily human beings who can play the "God's Hand" chess piece, but it may also be AI.

This is what Higashino wants to draw in this episode.

It may violate some of the connotations of "Soul of Chess", but artificial intelligence is there. Painting or not painting will change the situation of Go.

It's better to let the reader think.

……

On Monday, Shinoda Shidan was at the Ki-in, and after avoiding the students, he started reading manga magazines in the office.

The good friend Asakura Rokudan on the opposite side asked in surprise: "Why do you read manga magazines too? This should be read by children."

"There is a manga called "Soul of Chess", which is very realistic and touching to read." Shinoda explained honestly.

"Then let me take a look too." Asakura sat next to him.

After the Go competition in middle school, Xiao Liang let go of his fear and started his career as a professional chess player.

And Xiaoguang accidentally learned that there is a website called "World Weiqi Net", which can play chess with people from all over the world on the computer.

In this way, Zuowei started his career as a great demon king with the online name "sai".

The United States, the United Kingdom, China... Amateur chess players all over the world lost to him, and the name "sai" began to spread widely.

They are all wondering, who is this "sai"?
At the International Amateur Go Tournament held in Japan, professional Go players from various countries gathered and talked about "sai".

Everyone thinks that he is a strong man who can compete with professional nine-dan.

And at this moment, a unique game started on the computer.

The opponent who fights against "sai" is named "ai".

The other party posted a comment claiming that the person playing against "sai" is an artificial intelligence developed by the company, which has high learning and powerful algorithms, and has memorized tens of thousands of chess records. It is hoped that "sai" will show its strength.

Zuo Wei was very excited. He never thought that one day he would be able to play chess with a machine. Only when he is blessed by God can he enjoy this unique experience.

With novelty in mind, he showed all his strength.

Honinbo Shusaku came to 1994 and integrated modern chess techniques, Saoi is already an evolutionary version of invincibility.

"ai" vs "sai"!
Kurata Sixth Dan couldn't help but hold the folding fan, and began to look forward to the follow-up development.

Since the 50s, artificial intelligence has entered the stage of history.

After several stages of stagnation and development, scientists in the 90s have been able to develop machine learning and algorithms and learn by themselves at a very basic level.

Kurata realized that in Go works, it was the first time that a game between artificial intelligence and chess players was proposed.

This unique perspective is indeed very attractive.

"Go has 19 horizontal and 19 vertical, 361 pieces, infinite possibilities, how can it be counted?"

He shook his head violently.

Japanese Go is about philosophy, and to understand the way of Go in meditation is to pay attention to the aesthetic feeling of playing Go.

According to his understanding of "ai", it is definitely a mechanical and utilitarian chess move.

If Zuowei loses to artificial intelligence, does that mean that the author of "Soul of Go" believes that Japanese Go has no future?
He became more and more nervous, forgetting that this was just a comic, as if what was described in the comic was the future.

The artificial intelligence in 1994, even the most advanced products in the laboratory, was still full of loopholes in Go.

It wasn't until 1997 that the supercomputer "Deep Blue" defeated the top-ranked chess player.

Faced with a more complicated game of Go, "ai" simply surrendered in the middle game.

It sometimes plays chess that humans cannot understand, and it gradually dies.

Even the academy student named "zelda" who lost to "sai" before was inferior.

In the field of Go, "ai" is still far behind.

But Sato Fujiwara was extremely serious. During the game against "ai", he discovered a chess pattern that he could not understand.

Obviously it seems to be at a disadvantage, but relying on that hand, "ai" has strengthened by [-] more hands.

He realized that "ai" has infinite possibilities.

In the future, he seemed to see the most powerful chess player in history.

I can't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In the comics, the person watching the game between "ai" and "sai" is an 18-year-old British youth named Demis Hassabis.

He who is watching this chess game is of course an amateur Go player.After watching "sai" play, he despaired.Smart, he has already understood that it is impossible to surpass "sai" in this lifetime.

It was like an insurmountable monument, which made him amazed.

At the end of the comic, Demis Hassabis decided to take the path of artificial intelligence.

He happens to be a student of computer science at Cambridge University. Since he is not as good as "sai" in chess, he must create an artificial intelligence that can surpass "sai"!
