With that move, the algorithm broke all previous human playing conventions, built up over thousands of years of play. If you watch the documentary of the match, Move 37 appeared to personally traumatise the World Champion Lee Sedol.38 He promptly lost the game and, in time, the match. Much less widely reported on, but for me as interesting, is what happened in Game 4, Move 78. This move was played not by the AlphaGo algorithm, but by Lee Sedol. This, too, broke all centuries’-old human conventions; it was the imagined made real. Watching the film, Move 78 appeared to send the AlphaGo algorithm into meltdown. It was digitally traumatised, began playing erratically and promptly lost the game. It is difficult to know what prompted Lee Sedol to create an untried and untested move. Perhaps the personal trauma of Move 37 caused some re-wiring of his brain. Perhaps out of destruction was forged creativity, as after the Great Fire. If so, this would be an example of co-evolution in practice, with the neurological and the technological combining in a mutually beneficial cycle. 35  https://www.soci.org/news/general-news/dr-hermann-hauser-delivers-machine-learning-lecture Berlucci (2009).

The same was true of Chess champions after Deep Blue. Move 37, or its successor strategies, has become a new human convention. This creativity was machine-assisted.
Caleb M Fundanga: Growth and development of the Zambian economy Opening remarks by Dr Caleb M Fundanga, Governor of the Bank of Zambia, at the official opening of the Standard Chartered Bank Plc, Livingstone, 7 January 2009. *  *  *  The Deputy Minister of Southern Province, Hon Daniel Munkombwe; The Standard Chartered Bank – Acting Managing Director, Mr. Robin Bairstow Members of the Press; Distinguished Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen Allow me to begin by thanking Mr Bairstow and his Colleagues for inviting me to this occasion which marks the official opening of the Standard Chartered Bank Plc , Livingstone Falls Park Agency. I congratulate Standard Chartered Bank Plc for yet another milestone achievement. Hon. Minister, I have stated at various fora that it is important for banks in Zambia to take actions which support the growth and development of our economy. We need banks to open new branches, such as this one, to increase the convenience for our people to access banking services; thereby increasing the efficiency of our economy and empowering our citizens. In particular, I have been encouraging banks to expand their services to areas with vast economic potential like Livingstone, which represents a Win-Win situation for both the bank and the City. I am glad that, although, Standard Chartered Bank already has an established branch in Livingstone, it has chosen to expand its services to other areas of the City in order to bring its products and services to the customer’s door step.
