I think it depends on what you mean by understanding. KataGo taught itself to play go by explicitly deprioritizing “losing” strategies. This means it didn’t play many amateur strategies because they were lost early in the training. This is hard for a human to understand because humans all generally share a learning curve going from beginning to amateur to expert. So all humans have more experience with “losing” techniques. Basically what I’m saying is, it might be that the training scheme of this AI explicitly prioritized having little understanding of these specific tactics, which is different than not having any understanding.
