Back in 1997, Deep Blue, a chess-playing computer developed by IBM defeated Garry Kasparov who is still considered as one of the greatest chess players in the world. But what has changed since? The proliferation of data and the rapidity of computing power have accelerated the development of algorithms. Machine learning emerged as a branch of Artificial Intelligence and allows computers to learn from datasets without being programmed explicitly.
