One question is whether Lee Sedol knows about these weaknesses.
Another question is whether he will exploit those weaknesses.
Lee has a very simple style of play that seems less ko-oriented
than other players, and this may play into the hands of Alpha.

I was surprised the Lee Sedol didn't take the game a bit further to
probe AlphaGo and see how it responded to [...complex kos, complex ko
fights, complex sekis, complex semeais, ..., multiple connection
problems, complex life and death problems] as ammunition for his next
game. I think he was so astonished at being put into a losing
position, he wasn't mentally prepared to put himself in a student's
role again, especially to an AI...which had clearly played much weaker
games just 6 months ago. I'm hopeful Lee Sedol's team has been some
meta-strategy sessions where, if he finds himself in a losing position
in game two, he turns it into exploring a set of experiments to tease
out some of the weaknesses to be better exploited in the remaining
games.

such as solving complex semeai's and double-ko's, aren't solved yet.

To find out Alphago's weaknesses, there can be, in particular,

- this match
- careful analysis of its games
- Alphago playing on artificial problem positions incl. complex kos, complex ko fights, complex sekis, complex semeais, complex endgames, multiple connection problems, complex life and death problems (such as Igo Hatsu Yoron 120) etc., and then theoretical analysis of such play
- semantic verification of the program code and interface
- theoretical study of the used theory and the generated dynamic data (structures)
