What is the significance of a system defeating a human champion at a game?

  • A.It proves that general artificial intelligence has been achieved
  • B.It shows that the system reasons in the same way a person does
  • C.It establishes that the game has been completely solved
  • D.It demonstrates capability in that domain and little beyond it

Answer: D

Such results are genuine achievements within their domain but narrow, since the system cannot transfer its competence to anything else. Interpreting them as evidence of general intelligence is the commonest error in reporting on the field. Nor do they establish any similarity of mechanism, and most such games remain unsolved in the game theoretic sense. Reading a result for exactly what it demonstrates, and no more, is the discipline that discussion of this subject most requires.
