IBM requested a rematch, and its team spent the next year building even faster hardware. 'it didn't lead to the breakthroughs that allowed the [deep blue] AI to have a huge impact on the world,' says campbell, one of deep thoughts' developers. 'there are very few problems out there where, as with chess, you have all the information you could possibly need to make the right decision,' campbell adds. 'most of the time there are unknowns.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a buzzword in popular culture and in business, a catchall for smart computers and machinery. Even just the term AI evokes a range of imagery, from Siri to Skynet. While AI isn't synonymous with human-machine competition (Skynet notwithstanding), there have been notable examples of AI-enabled machines schooling humans in arenas as diverse as trivia to video games. While it may sting our collective ego to revisit past defeats, we can learn important lessons about the future of AI development by revisiting one of our first losses to machines -- at chess. Of course, these AI-enabled machines are not as "smart" as humans, even if they did beat us.

Renew Democracy Initiative chairman, chess grandmaster and political activist Garry Kasparov discusses losing a chess match to a computer and the implications AI has for the future. The man widely considered to be one of the greatest chess players of all time said humans shouldn't fear artificial intelligence. Garry Kasparov told FOX Business' Gerry Baker on "WSJ at Large," those who are warning AI will replace us are just wrong. "I'm really concerned about the doomsayers, all these doomsayers that are trying to terrorize our minds," he said. "And maybe we should stop watching too many Hollywood movies because the future is for our making." "I'm arguing that we have to work with machines, and there's the endless opportunities that will actually bring more benefits than problems, as it's happened many times before."

In 1997, Garry Kasparov sat down to face his opponent. Kasparov had climbed to the top of the ladder in chess. He became the youngest undisputed World Chess Champion in 1985. When he was only 22 years old he was beating Chess Grandmasters who had a lifetime of experience. Kasparov is one of the greatest Chess Grandmasters of all time.
