With Go the possible moves is very large.
At the end a complete decision tree of all games - all possible moves- there are 10761 (estimated, while in chess it is 10120 "only") leaves...It is way to large eve for a computer, so computers are estimate possibilities of winning (how many leaves under the selected node leads to win) to cutting down the tree...The interesting thing with AlphaGo is that it uses some AI to learn and minimize decision tree...Obviously this approach is very successful - after all AlphaGo won 3 games already...
In the 4th game the move made by Lee was evaluated so low, that AlphaGo didn't took it in count, so when made it confused it...It seems, that at some point all the possible steps had a very (too) low winning rate so AlphaGo picked random steps (seems it can't resign)...
It will be interesting to see the analysis of the game from the side of the developers of AlphaGo...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
