Former World Chess Champion Warns Against Unemployment Due To AI

The former world chess champion raises concerns over AI's capabilities.

Among the chess community in which India has the genius grandmaster Viswanathan Anand, Garry Kasparov is an iconic statue that took the title of World Chess Champion at his early age of 22. Kasparov once won the IBM-developed Deep Blue AI in the first challenge match between them, but the Russian grandmaster then lost to the upgraded version of Deep Blue in their 1997 rematch. In a word, there was no one believing that machines would beat the human at our strategy games, but things have changed a lot.

AI has continued proving its unstoppably powerful capabilities by overcoming us in complicated games that require human creativity like Go chess, poker, or video game StarCraft. As shown by history, machines are not far from ideal when it comes to surpassing a human at any given task.

Referring to what can be the key factor for our future rather than human hubris, Garry Kasparov talked up about our ability to speed up new technologies. In an interview with Wired Magazine, Garry Kasparov said:

It’s been more than two decades since Kasparov had to face his unpredicted loss, but the grandmaster doesn’t see AI as something risky to the human to the rumored extent we’ve heard for a long while.

An AI-dominated world won’t completely appear to be a gloomy prospect, according to Kasparov.

Kasparov added that 96 percent of our jobs will be taken over by AI in the near future, but this won’t appear to be a gloomy prospect, according to the former world chess champion. However, the real challenge is likely to be how we will create new jobs that focus on our advantages, especially creativity.
