Garry Kasparov Says AI Can Make Us More Human

'It's not opening the gates of hell, but it's not a paradise,' Kasparov says about AI. Artificial intelligence learns from us, so we should really fear bad actors, not killer robots. Garry Kasparov was one of the first victims of the AI automation revolution. His loss to IBM's Deep Blue made him the first human chess champion to lose a match to a computer. But Kasparov is not jaded; his book, Deep Thinking, explores how AI can actually help us become more human. The real challenge, Kasparov told me at SXSW in Austin earlier this month, is keeping these tools from the humans who want to use them to do harm. And in that regard, we may already be too late. Dan Costa: After a career playing chess and battling Deep Blue, you've since then become a chess AI expert of sorts.
