Today's Story Highlights

Google's AlphaGo Thrashes Go Master
Google's AlphaGo on Tuesday rocked the worlds of Go and artificial
intelligence when it beat 18-time international Go champion Lee Se-dol
the final round of the Google DeepMind Challenge. Lee lost the first
three rounds last week but came back and won the fourth game. Go
"depends as much on logic, like chess, as it does on intuition," said
Mike Jude of Stratecast/Frost & Sullivan.

Remix OS Fills Android Desktop Void
The ability to run the Android OS as a fully functional desktop on PCs
took a giant leap forward this month with a release that merges the
Android-x86 Project with Jide Technology's Remix OS distribution.
Android-x86 Project developer Chih-Wei Huang late last month announced
on the project's website a partnership with Jide. He started the
Android-x86 Project in 2009.

Artificial Intelligence Learns the Ways of Minecraft
Microsoft on Monday unveiled AIX, a platform that its researchers have
been using to turn Minecraft into an artificial intelligence learning
environment. Although Microsoft's 2014 decision to buy Minecraft raised
some eyebrows -- the main criticism being that the game had run its
course by then -- the company has been putting it to some innovative
uses.
