Deep Thinking
- Garry Kasparov
EN
Garry Kasparov's chess match against IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer in 1997 marked a before and after in the history of technology. It was the dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence: A machine capable of defeating the reigning human champion of this highly cerebral game.
That moment was more than a century in the making, and in this groundbreaking audiobook, Kasparov reveals for the first time his surprising version of the story. He describes what it felt like to strategize against a relentless and tireless opponent with the whole world watching, and tells the story of artificial intelligence through the microcosm of chess, considered by generations of scientific pioneers to be the key to unlocking the secrets of human and artificial cognition.
Kasparov uses his unparalleled expertise to look into the future of intelligent machines and sees it bright with possibilities. While many critics brand artificial intelligence as a threat, especially to human jobs, Kasparov shows how humanity can reach new heights with the help of our most extraordinary creations, rather than fearing them. Deep Thinking is a firmly argued defense of technological progress by the man who stood at its precipice with his own career at stake.
