Former Go player Lee Se-dol and professional gamer Faker met with Son Seok-hee.

In MBC's "Son Seok-hee's Questions," which aired on the 8th, Lee Se-dol and Faker expressed their thoughts on humanity confronting AI.

Lee Se-dol lost 4-1 against AI "AlphaGo" for the first time in mankind 10 years ago, and Faker is set to face off by accepting the challenge of the next-generation AI "Grook 5" being developed by Elon Musk.

Lee Se-dol confessed that he had played a Go match with AI since his retirement. "I retired at the end of 2019 and even though I caught the black in 2021 and faced off with two points, I lost to AI. "Since 2017, it has become virtually impossible for humans to beat AI in Go," he said.

Lee Se-dol then said, "So we fought in a fair way. I laid down two points and set the AI for 20 seconds, and I set it as unlimited (time). I think I played a game for about a month and a half, but I won. I won two games."

He said, "In the third game, I put Jeongseon (which one always puts first), and then I felt really hopeless and a wall or something. I thought I couldn't win at all costs. I thought I would not beat AI even if I let it go for the rest of my life. After that, I didn't play Go," he said.

When Faker asked, "How much has Go AI developed these days?" Lee Se-dol said, "It's been about five years now, and from a human point of view, AI's skills will be similar in 2021 or 2026. It will no longer be observed because it is already lost from a human point of view," he said.
