Biggest tech companies join forces in an attempt to create AI
Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and IBM are to join forces to create "The Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society" or Partnership AI for short. In 1996 IBM's Deep Blue computer was the first computer to win a game of chess against a reigning world champion human, but it still lost 4-2. In 1997 a heavily upgraded version of the Deep Blue system managed to beat the then reigning world champion Garry Kasparov in a six game rematch 3 ½ – 2 ½, so only just, but it still won. It therefore became the first computer to win both a game and a match against a reigning world champion under regular time conditions. This however wasn't AI, it wasn't even close, it was just a machine that could perform thousands of calculations based on observing a humans actions and act accordingly in an attempt to get to a specific end result (which to some extent is what every PC does).
