Just because AlphaGo Zero can beat its predecessor, which in turn can beat expert humans, does it follow that AlphaGo Zero can beat expert humans? https://www.quantamagazine.org/artificial-intelligence-learns-to-learn-entir...

I was surprised that Kevin Hartnett didn't address this question. (Or am I missing something?) Jim Propp
