AI (artificial intelligence) for shogi and Go is progressing dramatically. In shogi, the Japanese software “Ponanza” first defeated a professional shogi player in 2013, and since then it has grown dramatically in strength, and in 2017 it defeated then-master Tenhiko Sato, 9-dan. It is known that Sota Fujii Nikan used AI for research and improved his abilities, but AI has become so strong that there is a debate over whether humans can defeat AI again. In the case of Go, Google’s “AlphaGo” won all matches against a Chinese Go player, said to be the world’s strongest, in 3 games, making it clear that it had become far more powerful than humans, and retired from playing against humans in 2017. I was allowed to.
Every time I hear such news, I am reminded of a company that was developing AI for a board game that I once conducted for a tax audit. The company was run by the president, who was the representative director, and used a room in his home as his office.
The survey will last for 2 days. On the first day, we heard about the company’s history, family circumstances, and about AI. However, the explanation about this AI is so gibberish that I have no idea what the president is saying. I understand that it is developing AI, but since it is used in a board game, it seems that more complex thinking and data than usual are required, such as “My company uses chaos theory and superstring theory.” That’s what I say. I’ve seen the name in a book, but I don’t understand the content. If you ask for an explanation from the company president without being able to look it up on the spot, the topic becomes even more difficult to understand, and you end up losing consciousness.
