You might remember Garry Kasparov, the last chess grand master to beat a computer. That was about 20 years ago when he went up against Deep Blue, the IBM megaframe that is the direct ancestor of Jeopardy-winning Watson. A rematch between Deep Blue and Kasparov a year later did not go so well for the human — and that was the end of an era. It would be a mistake to say that we’ve arrived on the threshold of artificial intelligence based on the Jeopardy and chess performances, but we may have reached an accommodation point.
