Go Spotting: Daniel Kahneman on go and AI

Daniel Kahneman, author of the best-selling book "Thinking, Fast and Slow," mentions go in a recent "On Being" interview. "On Being" is a Peabody Award-winning public radio show and podcast hosted by Krista Tippett. "At about 1:25:30, he is in the midst of talking about artificial intelligence when he mentions my favorite game — the ancient board game of go," writes Howard Cornett in a blog post. "He talks about how he is fascinated by the fact that a computer program has finally beaten professional humans at a game that is based largely on System 1 thinking, or intuition."
