Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Deep Thinking by Garry Kasparov, Mig Greengard In May 1997, the world watched as Garry Kasparov, the greatest chess player in the world, was defeated for the first time by the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue. It was a watershed moment in the history of technology: machine intelligence had arrived at the point where it could best human intellect.It wasnt a coincidence that Kasparov became the symbol of mans fight against the machines. Chess has long been the fulcrum in development of machine intelligence; the hoax automaton The Turk in the 18th century and Alan Turings first chess program in 1952 were two early examples of the quest for machines to think like humans -- a talent we measured by their ability to beat their creators at chess. As the pre-eminent chessmaster of the 80s and 90s, it was Kasparovs blessing and his curse to play against each generations strongest computer champions, contributing to their development and advancing the field. Like all passionate competitors, Kasparov has taken his defeat and learned from it. He has devoted much energy to devising ways in which humans can partner with machines in order to produce results better than either can achieve alone. During the twenty years since playing Deep Blue, hes played both with and against machines, learning a great deal about our vital relationship with our most remarkable creations. Ultimately, hes become convinced that by embracing the competition between human and machine intelligence, we can spend less time worrying about being replaced and more thinking of new challenges to conquer.In this breakthrough book, Kasparov tells his side of the story of Deep Blue for the first time -- what it was like to strategize against an implacable, untiring opponent -- the mistakes he made and the reasons the odds were against him. But more than that, he tells his story of AI more generally, and how hes evolved to embrace it, taking part in an urgent debate with philosophers worried about human values, programmers creating self-learning neural networks, and engineers of cutting edge robotics.

Review Quote The raw emotion of that encounter in New York bursts out of the pages of Kasparovs gripping story . What is striking, and reassuring , is that far from raging against the machine, Kasparov marvels at the capabilities of computers and is excited by the possibilities for future collaboration. This reads at times like a fast-paced psychological thriller. Chess fans will be engrossed by Kasparovs tale but the book deserves a far broader readership Details ISBN1473653517 Author Mig Greengard Pages 304 Year 2018 ISBN-10 1473653517 ISBN-13 9781473653511 Format Paperback Publication Date 2018-04-05 Media Book Imprint John Murray Publishers Ltd Subtitle Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 006.3 Publisher John Murray Press Short Title Deep Thinking Language English UK Release Date 2018-04-05 Audience General AU Release Date 2018-04-09 NZ Release Date 2018-04-09 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
