The Go Series Pt. 2: Move 37 & the God Move

Generative AI 101

AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol wasn’t just a board game, it was humanity staring down its algorithmic doppelgänger and wondering who gets the last laugh. In this episode, host Emily Laird continues her exploration of the 2016 Go showdown that shocked pros, spawned memes, and gave us two immortal moves: AlphaGo’s eerie, alien “Move 37” and Sedol’s legendary “God Move.” From overconfident predictions to existential gasps, we trace how a quiet Go board in Seoul turned into a global stage for the question: what happens when human intuition meets machine precision and loses?
