In a famous chess match in 1996, and a subsequent, infamous rematch in 1997, world champion Garry Kasparov played against IBM’s Deep Blue, the most advanced chess-playing computer of its time. Kasparov came to understand how machines, which use deductive logic, “think” differently than people, who use inductive logic. Until artificial intelligence (AI) research gained sufficient data and processing speed, engineers focused on “brute force” search methods. This method works with a game such as chess, which follows strict rules to achieve a clear goal. Twenty years later, with the help of AI advances, Kasparov is working to develop human-machine collaborations that aid decision-making.
