Kinesisk brætspil lærer computeren at tænke selv

Rå computerkraft kan slå mennesket i brætspil som skak eller backgammon. Men i det gamle kinesiske brætspil go, hvor evnen til at kunne genkende mønstre er vigtig, er vores hjerne stadig computerens regnekraft overlegen. Derfor bruger forskerne nu spillet i jagten på fremtidens intelligente computer.
