Deep Thinking
Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins
Kasparov's account of losing to IBM's Deep Blue and what two decades of man-versus-machine chess taught him about the real promise of artificial intelligence.
In 1997 Garry Kasparov became the first world champion to lose a match to a machine. Twenty years later he wrote the definitive insider account of that defeat, including what IBM did behind the scenes and what losing taught him. The surprise is his optimism. Kasparov argues that human plus machine beats either alone, and that intelligent machines should push people toward more creative work rather than fear. It is part memoir, part history of chess computing, and part manifesto about artificial intelligence.
