Deep Thinking - Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins (Kasparov Garry)(Paperback)

Garry Kasparov gives his first public account of his landmark 1997 chess match with the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue, and explains why, twenty years later, he´s become convinced that artificial intelligence is good for humans. In May 1997, the world watched as Garry Kasparov, the greatest chess player in the world, was defeated for the first time by the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue. It was a watershed moment in the history of technology: machine intelligence had arrived at the point where it could best human intellect. It wasn´t a coincidence that Kasparov became the symbol of man´s fight against the machines. Chess has long been the fulcrum in development of machine intelligence; the hoax automaton ´The Turk´ in the 18th century and Alan Turing´s first chess program in 1952 were two early examples of the quest for machines to think like humans - a talent we measured by their ability to beat their creators at chess. As the pre-eminent chessmaster of the 80s and 90s, it was Kasparov´s blessing and his curse to play against each generation´s strongest computer champions, contributing to their development and advancing the field. Like all passionate competitors, Kasparov has taken his defeat and learned from it. He has devoted much energy to devising ways in which humans can partner with machines in order to produce results better than either can achieve alone. During the twenty years since playing Deep Blue, he´s played both with and against machines, learning a great de
