I don't think DeepMind's real objective was to create a world Go champion. I think it was to build an engine that could learn to perform difficult intellectual tasks better than any human; and they chose Go for their first test because there was a clear objective measure of success. If I am right, we won't see much more of their "Go engine", instead they will direct their resources to training their general-purpose engine to do other more useful things.
