Human Go Players Learn from Superhuman AIs

đŸ—Ą️ Last year, we found superhuman Go AIs are vulnerable to “cyclic attacks”. This adversarial strategy was discovered by AI but replicable by humans. Below @KellinPelrine (⚪) gives the superhuman AI KataGo (⚫) a 9-stone handicap but still wins. See https://t.co/m97yFtvz0F pic.twitter.com/4VfgsJUS73

So: "Last year, we found superhuman Go AIs are vulnerable to “cyclic attacks”. This adversarial strategy was discovered by AI but replicable by humans."

Superhuman Go AIs discover a new region of the Go search-space. That's one thing. The fact that, once discovered, humans are able to exploit this region against a superhuman Go AI. That is just as interesting. 

One question we can ask about superintelligence is whether or not so-called superintelligent AIs can do things that are inherently and forever beyond human capacity. In this particular case, we have humans learning things initially discovered by AIs.
