Artificial Intelligence about where Machine Intelligence ends and Human
and the Game of the Creativity begins — followed by a conversation with
Century — Kasparov legendary former MIT Media Lab Professor Mike
vs. Deep Blue Hawley.
with Garry Kasparov, In May 1997 the greatest chess player in the world was
Michael Hawley defeated for the first time — by an IBM supercomputer
named Deep Blue. As George Steiner remarked: 'There
30th May 2017 may come a day when historians realise that the most
6:45pm - 8:00pm important event in the twentieth century was not the war
or the financial crash, but the evening when Kasparov
Emmanuel Centre lost a game against a little metal box.'

You are invited to hear Garry Kasparov tell his side
of this epoch-making story — for the first time, twenty
years on: what it was like to play against an implacable
and tireless opponent, why the odds were so stacked,
what were the strategies IBM used to unnerve him. But
this is above all a story about machine intelligence,
and how Kasparov has come to embrace it as a force
for good and an ally of human creativity.
Ls:, Garry Kasparov
Garry Kasparov defeated Anatoly Karpov in 1985 to
become the youngest ever World Chess Champion at
the age of 22. He held the official FIDE world title until
1993, and from 1986 until his retirement in 2005 was
ranked world No. 1 for 225 out of 228 months. Kasparov
is today aglobal human rights activist, a proponent of Al,
and author of two previous books, How Life Imitates
Chess and Winter is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and
the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped. His
new book is Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence
Ends and Human Creativity Begins. He lives in New
York.
