Yangpyeong County's Seojong-myeon Introduces AI Go Robot to Children's Go Class

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Um In-yong] Seojong-myeon, Yangpyeong County (Myeon Chief Hong Joo-pyo) announced on the 15th that it has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) Go robot to the Seojong Go Association for local children.

The Seojong Go Association has operated a children's Go class to promote the appeal of Go and help local children improve their thinking skills and concentration. However, the existing learning method made it difficult to maintain children's sustained interest, leading to the introduction of the Go robot this time.

Meanwhile, the Seojong Go Association is located on the second floor of the Seojong-myeon Senior Citizens Association branch and plans to hold the 3rd Chairman's Cup Go Tournament on the 24th.

Seojong-myeon Chief Hong Joo-pyo said, "Through the introduction of this artificial intelligence Go robot, I expect that children will be able to learn Go more enjoyably and effectively, and through matches with the Go robot, they will be able to develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills as well," and added, "Going forward, we will actively support the promotion of '1 Township Resident, 1 Recreational Sport' activities."
