AlphaGo vs Fan Hui
In October 2015, Fan was defeated by the Google DeepMind AI program AlphaGo 5–0, the first time an AI has beaten a human professional player at the game without a handicap. Fan described the program as "very strong and stable, it seems like a wall. ... I know AlphaGo is a computer, but if no one told me, maybe I would think the player was a little strange, but a very strong player, a real person."
AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol
After his defeat, Fan Hui was hired to advise the AlphaGo team and provided a "sanity check" on Go theory. He served a judge for the AlphaGo versus Lee Sedol match and observed it in person. He later helped compile commentaries on the matches on AlphaGo's website.
