Most of these early chess programs, and then Deep Blue became the pinnacle of that, were these types of expert systems, which at the time was the favored way of approaching AI, where actually it's the programmers that solve the problem, in this case, playing chess.

And then they encapsulate that solution in a set of heuristics and rules, which guides a kind of brute force search towards, in this case, making a good chess move. And I always had this, although I was fascinated by these Ailey chess programs that they could do that, I was also slightly disappointed by them.

And actually, by the time it got to Deep Blue, I was already studying at Cambridge in my undergrad. I was actually more impressed with Kasparov's mind because I'd already started studying neuroscience than I was with the machine because he was this brute of a machine. All it can do is play chess.

And then Kasparov can play chess at the same sort of roughly the same level, but also can do all the other things. amazing things that humans can do. And so I thought, doesn't that speak to the wonderfulness of the human mind? And it also, more importantly, means something was missing from very fundamental from Deep Blue and these expert system approaches to AI, right?

Very clearly, because Deep Blue did not seem Even though it was a pinnacle of AI at the time, it did not seem intelligent. And what was missing was its ability to learn, learn new things. So for example, it was crazy that Deep Blue could play chess to world champion level, but it couldn't even play tic-tac-toe, right? You'd have to reprogram.

Nothing in the system would allow it to play tic-tac-toe. So that's odd, right? That's very different to a human grandmaster who should obviously play a simpler game trivially. And then also it was not general, right? In the way that the human mind is. And I think those are the hallmarks.

That's what I took away from that match is those are the hallmarks of intelligence and they were needed if we wanted to crack AI.
