AlphaGo was able to beat humans at chess because playing chess is the perfect activity for a robot. If we could connect AlphaGo’s “brain” to a computer, we would quickly see that it possesses a level of concentration much greater than that of humans, that it never grows tired, and that, unlike us, it is not a slave to its emotions. For thousands of years, Eastern monks have used various forms of meditation to tap into hidden wisdom. Now, however, using technology such as AI and big data, we have created a type of wisdom that vastly surpasses our own.
