At +22:48 Broussard talks about the computer beating the human champion at go by learning strategies from human players. This is false. Deep Mind says, "In late 2017 we introduced AlphaZero, a single system that taught itself from scratch (no human knowledge), how to master the games of chess, shogi (Japanese chess), and Go, beating a world-champion program in each case". The computer developed new strategies. Human champions are using these computer strategies to win more games.
