Interview with Garry Kasparov, the first chess world champion to be defeated by a computer, about chess, AI, and a strategy for staying a step ahead of machines
Twenty-three years after he lost to Deep Blue, Kasparov says people need to work with machines. You have to “nudge the flock of intelligent algorithms.” Tweets: @softengresgrp , @warinthefuture , @tobywalsh , @sebagon , @mijustin , @scottthurm , @kasparov63 , and @skynet_today Tweets: Prof. Per Runeson / @softengresgrp : “People say, oh, we need to make ethical AI. What nonsense. Humans still have the monopoly on evil. The problem is not AI. The problem is humans using new technologies to harm other humans.” https://twitter.com/... Major General Mick Ryan / @warinthefuture : “For several decades we have been training people to act like computers, and now we are complaining that these jobs are in danger.” I love this piece.

Toby Walsh / @tobywalsh : Sigh, journalists repeat mistakes again and again: “Deep Blue followed hand-coded rules for playing chess”. Nope. Deep Blue also used some machine learning like AlphaGo. DeepMind's PR team would have you believe otherwise. https://www.wired.com/... via @wired Sebastian Gonzalez / @sebagon : “I always say I was the first knowledge worker whose job was threatened by a machine,” says Garry Kasparov of his loss to IBM's Deep Blue in 1997. https://www.wired.com/... Justin Jackson / @mijustin : Anyone have a source for this stat @Kasparov63 provides in this @WIRED piece? “When you look at the statistics, only 4 percent of jobs in the US require human creativity.” https://www.wired.com/... https://twitter.com/... Scott Thurm / @scottthurm : Garry Kasparov famously lost a chess match to a computer in 1997. He knows computers have only gotten better since then, but he sees potential weaknesses in AlphaZero's approach. “It added too much advantage to bishop.” https://www.wired.com/... via @willknight Garry Kasparov / @kasparov63 : As the first knowledge worker whose job was threatened by a machine, I'm happy to share my positive message about the future of the human-machine relationship. My new interview in @WIRED: https://www.wired.com/... Skynet Today / @skynet_today : “1997 was an unpleasant experience, but it helped me understand the future of human-machine collaboration. ...
