What this actually means is that "the approach" AlphaGo team developed to "computationally" play Go, which is an computationally intractable problem, will be very useful in other computationally intractable problems. The media is going to get crazy without understanding what actually happened. If you are going very hysteric over this and thinking that robots are going to take over then please try this:- Before the start of the game add/remove/update any rules of the game and tell both the players - the human and computer - at the start of the game about new rules and lets see who wins.
