Are We Doomed?
Wired: " Kasparov, the chess grandmaster beaten in a match by computer Deep Blue six years ago, said Thursday he is proud to represent humanity in the latest battle of man vs. machine."
Is chess really the best game in which to test artificial intelligence? It seems that if a computer is given enough time it could predict every possible situation and could thus win every time. A real test of intelligence and capabilities would be in a kind of real world scenerio where humans use their intuitions and simply react. In a real world situation the human brain doesn't go through all the available possibilities then pick the best one. Automatically we rule out a lot of them then decide on the best.
