Here's a summary of a talk Garry Kasparov gave for Palantir Technologies. One interesting remark comes in the context of computer chess, where he wishes that the triumph of chess programming had come from an artificial intelligence breakthrough rather than by brute force. What's interesting is that this echoes the approach taken by his great teacher Mikhail Botvinnik. Botvinnik was not only a world chess champion, but an engineer and programmer whose desire was just what Kasparov wished for: a truly AI-based chess program.
