CodeX: The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics organized an event titled “Artificial Intelligence: Think Again” by Jerry Kaplan on Wednesday, March 1, 2017 at Stanford Law School, Room 180. He explained;
*Can Machines Think?
*What is “Intelligence”?
*The AI Myth making Machine
*The Real Challenge of AI
The common wisdom about Artificial Intelligence is that we are building increasingly intelligent machines that will ultimately surpass human capabilities and possibly even threaten mankind. This narrative is both misguided and counterproductive. Framing AI as a natural expansion of longstanding efforts to automate tasks makes it easier to predict the likely benefits and pitfalls of this important technology.
CHESS (1997)
Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov was a pair of six-game chess matches between world chess champion Garry Kasparov and an IBM supercomputer called Deep Blue. The first match was played in Philadelphia in 1996 and won by Kasparov. The second was played in New York City in 1997 and won by Deep Blue.
