Korean Go Master Defeats Domestically Developed AI in First Match
All this means is that Korea’s domestically developed AI is not as smart as Google’s yet:

Lee won the first round of the match against HanDol, a program developed by NHN Entertainment Corp. Two more games are scheduled for today and Friday.
Go, known as baduk in Korean, is a strategy game originated in China 3,000 years ago.
In the 2016 match, Lee beat Google AlphaGo’s DeepMind in one out of five matches. In November, the 36-year-old announced his resignation, saying the life of a Go master would be meaningless unless he can beat the AI.

Supposedly retired… but couldn’t stay away!
He’s getting paid a lot for this retirement match.
Not surprised at all. Korea’s versions of Google (Naver and Daum) are such garbage.
