- AlphaGo, Google's Go-playing computer, took a 3-0 lead on Saturday against one of the world's top players, clinching the closely watched best-of-five game series.
- "I am very sorry for the powerless display," Lee Sedol told reporters in Seoul. "I have never felt before such severe pressure as I do now, and I suppose my abilities were a bit lacking to overcome that."
- The victory for the Al program, designed by Google subsidiary DeepMind, has surprised many, including its designers. Go is much more complex than chess, by an order of 10 followed by 99 zeros.

Update: Lee strikes back to win game four against AlphaGo. The fifth match will take place on Tuesday.
