Garry Kasparov - about why you should not be afraid of intelligent machines

We are used to contrast the human and the machine. We compete and almost not at war with them. And forget that the triumph of the machine - a triumph of man.
"I'm on my experience that we need to face our fears, if we want to make the most of Technologies, - says Kasparov - and overcome these fears, if we want to make the most of human opportunities. "
Once in 1996, Kasparov lost a match against a computer called Deep Blue, he wondered whether it is possible to combine the efforts of the player and the computer. What happens when you combine the intuition of human and computing capabilities of the machine, the human an experience and computer memory?
In the end, he came to this conclusion: the human experience and the technical characteristics of the computer is not so important. Home right strategy human-computer interaction. This convinced him that for the greater good of the machines we need better ways to manage them.
Interaction between humans and machines - this is not the future but the present.
For example, now we use machine translation systems to understand the foreign article, knowing that the transfer will not ideal. We make your changes, and machine learning on them. This model of cooperation applies in many areas: medical diagnostics, security.
Machines already processed data, calculate embodiments, perform work on the 80 or 90%. But you do not send a child to school on an unmanned vehicle, which operates with an accuracy of 90 or even 99%. So now we need a big step forward.
We can not slow down. On the contrary, we need to accelerate progress. Technology is already able to deliver us from the difficulties, so we have to look for them even more complex tasks.
Machinery calculated we interpret. They have instructions, we have - the goal. They bring objectivity, we - the passion. We should not worry about what the machines can do today, and of what they can not do. Because for translating into reality the most daring ideas we need the help of intelligent machines.
And if we fail, it is not because our cars are too smart or clever enough. And due to the fact that we relax and stop dreaming. After all, man is different from the machine is the ability to dream.
