Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo system will play against Chinese Go master Ke Jie in May, reviving the AI-humanity match-up that has attracted global spotlight.

Ke will play three rounds against AlphaGo in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province. The match will last from May 23 to 27. A team match will also be held between AlphaGo and five Chinese players, the Chinese Go Association announced on April 10.

Ke declared war on the computer program via Sina Weibo in March 2016, bragging, "Even though AlphaGo may have defeated Lee Se-dol, it won't beat me." On March 16, 2016, AlphaGo emerged victorious from a historic match with South Korean Go grandmaster Lee Se-dol, beating him 4-1 in a best-of-five series, the Global Times reported.

Ke, 18, turned professional in 2008, and has been hailed by media as a Go prodigy. He is the youngest person in history to win three major international tournaments, after he beat Lee in the final round of the MLily Cup in January, according to the Global Times.

Go, an ancient Chinese board game popular throughout East Asia, involves two contestants moving black and white stones on a square grid with the aim of seizing the most territory.
