Deep Learning AI: How machines are becoming master problem solvers

It's been more than 20 years since IBM's Deep Blue won its first match against world chess champion Garry Kasparov, marking the first time an artificial intelligence machine defeated a reigning champion. Deep Blue eventually lost the match 2-4, but evened the score in a May 1997 rematch. Fourteen years later, AI made its television debut in grand style, when IBM's Watson took down a pair of former "Jeopardy!" In milliseconds, the machine culled the most probable answer to each question from more than 200 million pages of content, including the complete Wikipedia catalog. Now, Google's AI system, AlphaGo, is making cognitive computing history.
