On May 11, 1997 – more than 25 years ago – a computer defeated World Chess Champion, Gary Kasparov. How has our world changed since then? And what does it mean when computer wins against people?
Deep Blue Super Computer made history when he won his chess match against the ruled world champion Gary Kasparov.
Today, you can play against computer programs, called the “chess engine”, which will defeat dark blue and is widely available online. IBM Watson, who once won a quiz show risk! Against human champions, tasks work smooth and automatically – and even form recipes for you. You can produce art and even ask AI to prepare the text for you.
How did computers get it? How do these inventions that change the world? And what comes forward?
Since machines can improve humans first – or at least work faster for us for us – we have been thinking about when our world looks like when computers can perform better than us. Unlike people, computers are never tired, and they can calculate at the speed of electricity. They are good at doing what we don’t want to do – but when they get good in these things when we understand humans basically, like playing games.
About 1500 years ago, the chess Indian strategy was created from Chaturanga. Since the first spread of India, people around the world have seen it as a dignified game, which is associated with dissatisfaction and intelligence. At the end of the nineteenth century, chess players began to focus their attention, more organized than a stylish move, from the strategic gameplay. By the twentieth century, computer scientists saw chess as a test case to make a machine that could only work more than crushing numbers.
Early chess computers were sharp, but are making mistakes, which will cost their game. Human chess players still had the advantage of learning chess – centuries observations by the world’s best players. Still, they became better and more popular.
During the years, chess computers are still faster, and the best human players’ Better is better. But they still could not defeat the world champions. Then came the deep blue, made a supercomputer Only For chess, at the end of 1996, Casparov could defeat the young dark blue in a match. But by 1997, the computer could play chess ways that affected the world champion – and could defeat it.
The secrets of Deep Blue’s success are not only at its own pace – a supercomputer can do hundreds of millions of calculations every second – but also to help humans. Chess Grand Master Joel Benjamin worked with the Deep Blue Team to help the supercomputer training to take excellent action. Likewise, IBM is Watson Trained on millions of documents To learn how the grammar rules work and learn how the pieces of text should be mixed together. AI Art Generator See statistical associations between millions of different photos. And Chat GPT – a technology that can dream of plot ideas can help the author block, and even give feedback to the authors. Has been trained on millions of documents. Thousands of people are trying to succeed every computer.
Although Deep Blue defeated Casparov, people still play chess. Although IBM Watson was at risk! And even as AI develops, humans and computers work more than competing.
