And here is a much lower budget (but still enjoyable) documentary about Fine Art, an AlphaGo clone by the Chinese company Tencent:

Favorite line from it: "AI blew the gates of the Go palace open. And we realized there was no one inside."

Another interesting thought was when one of the developers gets asked why bother to clone AlphaGo when AlphaGo already exists, he says something like "Was it pointless for China to develop the atomic bomb even though the USA already had?"

Thank you (and GP!) I know what I’ll be doing for the next 90 minutes.

Watching this now. 10 minutes in and loving it, thanks for the recommendation.

One thing I found strange about that documentary was how little mention "Google" got. Unless I missed it, the acquisition wasn't even mentioned.

I think they didn't want to make it a PR piece for the parent company. DeepMind had developed a lot of the tech before getting bought.
