This week, Google's AlphaGo beat a grandmaster at the complex game Go-an artificial intelligence milestone (seepages g, 20 and 21). Here's what the experts sayAl's next big challenge should be.

But AI still struggles with games where information is incomplete - like poker, where a player doesn't know what card is coming next. "Computers have beaten the best people at heads-up limit Texas Hold'em, but not yet at no-limit, a much more complicated game," says Peter Stone at the University of Texas at Austin.
