"What we're finding is that any kind of computational challenge that is sufficiently well defined, we can build a machine that can do better.

Michael was interviewed by TechCrunch to provide his thoughts about the importance of the AlphaGo program as a milestone in artificial intelligence. He says the same technology used in the program could potentially be applied to self-driving cars and problem-solving searches.
