Google's AI program AlphaGo whipped the world's top human Go player, Ke Jie, so resoundingly this spring that he said he wouldn't ever play a machine again. 

Now, he's coming back for more. 

Except this time, Jie won't be facing any smart machine from Google's AI research lab, DeepMind. Instead, Reuters reports he'll take on AI opponents from China, Japan, and Taiwan. The match will take place in April 2018.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
