World No 1 Go player Ke Jie, from China, will go head-to-head with Google's artificial intelligence program AlphaGo next month in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province, organizers announced on Monday.

The highly anticipated contest follows the AI's 4-1 victory over South Korean Go master Lee Se-dol in March last year.

Ke will take on the board game-playing program in a best-of-three contest as part of the Future of Go Summit held from May 23-27 in Wuzhen, according to the Chinese Go Association.

Alongside Ke's individual battle, two other Chinese players, Lian Xiao and Gu Li, will take on each other assisted by the AlphaGo program in a man versus computer pairs battle.

The event will conclude with five other Chinese players taking on the AI as a team.
