These topics are discussed in greater depth in Kasparov's book, "Deep Thinking". My view of the book: Very well written (and occasionally engrossing), well thought out, and strikes a more hopeful/reasonable tone that anything else I've seen on the subject.
on “Garry Kasparov: Open-Ended AI [video]” ↗I can heartily recommend "Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins" by Kasparov. It's his story on what happened around Deep Blue.
on “Exploring new forms of chess using artificial intelligence” ↗Not the most informative headline. "He has written many books, but this may be his most important." I firmly doubt it. The story is an ad for a book, Deep Thinking, about computer chess, and in it "Kasparov uses his unrivalled experience to look into the future of intelligent machines" something he appears eminently unqualified to do. Karpov said that Kasparov…
on “Garry Kasparov on how it all started” ↗> But ultimately, Seltz-Axmacher believes, the tools he’s developing will be good for truckers. He cites a new book by Garry Kasparov, Deep Thinking, in which the chess great observes that middling chess players who play with the help of a standard computer are reliably better than either grandmasters or supercomputers by themselves. “I think humans…
on “Truckers Working Alongside Coders Trying to Make Driverless Trucks” ↗With respect to IBM: they've been at the marketing game for a long time. In Deep Thinking, Garry Kasparov details their ruthlessness with him in the 90s, where it suddenly went from a friendly match to a bloodthirsty drive to beat him at all costs.

on “The fraudulent claims made by IBM about Watson and AI” ↗There's one match in which it was not a game of perfect information, as Garry Kasparov says in "Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins": If you consider "perfect information" to include "knowledge of your opponent's previous games" (that's a big IF) then he did not have it…
on “Chess, unlike war, is a game of perfect information” ↗…no doom and gloom. Looking at things after the temporary shock. Future is Human + computer assisted problem solving, working in tandem, just like what Garry Kasparov mentioned in his book [0]. [0] - "Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins"
on “A mathematician reads the AI future” ↗
