In May 1997, the world witnessed Garry Kasparov, the greatest chess player, defeated by IBM's Deep Blue, marking a pivotal moment in technology's evolution. This defeat symbolized humanity's struggle against machines, as chess has historically been central to the development of machine intelligence. From the 18th-century automaton 'The Turk' to Alan Turing's chess program in 1952, the quest for machines to emulate human thought has often been measured by their prowess in chess. As the leading chessmaster of the 80s and 90s, Kasparov faced increasingly advanced computer opponents, which both challenged and contributed to their evolution. Learning from his defeat, he has focused on how humans can collaborate with machines to achieve superior outcomes. Over the past two decades, he has engaged with machines, gaining insights into our crucial relationship with technology. Kasparov now believes that embracing the competition between human and machine intelligence can shift our focus from fear of replacement to new challenges. In this groundbreaking work, he shares his experiences with Deep Blue, detailing his strategies, mistakes, and the broader implications of AI, while engaging in vital discussions with philosophers, programmers, and robotics engineers.
