Deep Thinking

Garry Kasparov, var verdens største skakspiller tilbage i 1997, da han blev besejret af IBM-computeren Deep Blue. I "Deep Thinking" fortæller Kasparov, hvordan det var at lægge strategi mod en utrættelig supercomputer; hvilke fejl han begik og årsagerne til, at han tabte. Kasparov fortæller i "Deep Thinking" også om AI i en bredere forstand og hvordan han personligt, har lært sig at omfavne det, beskuende ind i en fremtid med selvlærende neurale netværk og avanceret robotteknologi. Baseret på sine egne erfaringer, lærer Kasparov os at omfavne forskellen mellem den menneskelige og den maskinelle intelligens, og inviterer læseren til at skifte fokus fra at bekymre os om at blive erstattet, til at tænke på de nye udfordringer, vi skal overvinde og hvordan vi skal gøre det.

Garry Kasparov's 1997 chess match against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue was a watershed moment in the history of technology. It was the dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence: a machine capable of beating the reigning human champion at this most cerebral game. That moment was more than a century in the making, and in this breakthrough book, Kasparov reveals his astonishing side of the story for the first time. He describes how it felt to strategize against an implacable, untiring opponent with the whole world watching, and recounts the history of machine intelligence through the microcosm of chess, considered by generations of scientific pioneers to be a key to unlocking the secrets of human and machine cognition. Kasparov uses his unrivaled experience to look into the future of intelligent machines and sees it bright with possibility. As many critics decry artificial intelligence as a menace, particularly to human jobs, Kasparov shows how humanity can rise to new heights with the help of our most extraordinary creations, rather than fear them. Deep Thinking is a tightly argued case for technological progress, from the man who stood at its precipice with his own career at stake.
