알파고 출시 10주년을 언급하며, 이세돌과의 대국이 바둑에 미친 변화를 되돌아보는 트윗입니다. AI 모델의 역사적 의미와 강화학습 기반 게임 AI의 상징성을 상기시키는 내용입니다.

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since AlphaGo! It was wonderful to catch up with Lee Sae Dol last week in Korea and join Shin Jin-seo for a special Go match. Great to reminisce about AlphaGo & super interesting to hear how it changed the way players approach the game of Go!

한국에서 AlphaGo가 AI의 가능성을 보여준 지 10년이 지난 지금, 한국 정부와 함께 이 기술이 과학적 발견을 가속하고 지역 경제 성장을 촉진하는 데 어떻게 활용될지 논의하고 있다. AI의 산업·연구 적용 확대를 예고하는 메시지다.

A decade ago in Korea, AlphaGo showed AI’s potential. Together with the Korean government, we’re now looking at how this technology can help accelerate scientific discovery and create new opportunities for economic growth across the region. 🇰🇷 Find out more →

Misha Laskin이 RL이 대규모로 작동하기 시작하면 AI 발전은 결국 경제성 문제로 바뀐다고 언급했습니다. AlphaGo 사례와 함께, 언어모델에서 RL이 가능해지면서 다른 분야로도 확장되며, 질병 치료 같은 문제에 수십억 달러를 투입할 의지가 핵심이 된다는 관점입니다.

Misha Laskin says once RL works at scale, progress becomes an economics problem. AlphaGo kept improving until it wasn’t worth the compute. Now that RL works on language models, the same logic applies elsewhere: “How much are you willing to spend $10B, $100B to cure a disease?”

yahoo news | The Man Who Thought He Could Keep AI Safe

Demis Hassabis, the co‑founder of DeepMind, has spent his career trying to shape artificial‑intelligence into a force that benefits humanity while averting the existential threats it could pose. From the moment Google acquired DeepMind in 2014, he insisted on strict safety controls, an independent oversight board, and a ban on military applications, framing his work as a moral quest rather than a purely commercial venture. Early on he even imagined a “singleton” scenario—a secret bunker‑based research enclave that would develop superintelligence under a single, trusted authority, protecting the world from a rogue AI.

When the vision of a unified, safe AI effort began to crumble—sparked by Elon Musk’s founding of OpenAI and deep‑seated competition among tech giants—Hassabis accelerated DeepMind’s progress, achieving landmark breakthroughs such as AlphaGo and protein‑folding predictions that earned a Nobel Prize. Yet his attempts to embed nonprofit‑style governance inside Google faltered, and a controversial NHS partnership triggered privacy backlash, leading to internal retreats and the departure of co‑founder Mustafa Suleyman. The emergence of powerful chatbots like ChatGPT forced Hassabis to confront a new moral crossroads: either cede the chatbot market to rivals or engage in an all‑out “wartime” race for AI dominance.

By 2026 Hassabis has accepted that formal governance structures alone cannot guarantee safety; instead he seeks personal influence at the highest decision‑making tables. He argues that real safety comes from having a seat at the table when critical issues arise, allowing him to steer outcomes while adapting from idealism to pragmatic realism. Though his original values appear compromised, his presence offers a modest “scaffolding of reassurance” amid a global, multi‑lab AI arms race, until broader governmental restraints can be imposed.

알파고의 서울 전설적 대국(10년 전)과 유명한 '무브 37'을 회고하며, 이 사건이 현대 AI 시대의 시작을 알렸고 강화학습 등 AI 기법이 과학 등 실제 문제 해결에 활용될 준비가 되었음을 주장합니다. 또한 이러한 방법에서 영감을 받은 아이디어들이 AGI 구축에 중요하다고 언급합니다.

Ten years ago, AlphaGo’s legendary match in Seoul heralded the start of the modern era in AI. Its famous ‘Move 37’ signaled to us that AI techniques were ready to tackle real-world problems in areas like science - and ideas inspired by these methods are critical to building AGI
