He then speaks with game designer and author Frank Lantz about Go as an art form, the elegance of its rules, the balance between intuition and calculation, and what AlphaGo reveals about artificial intelligence. The conversation also explores why Go remains less visible than chess in the West and why Frank remains optimistic about its future.
