The U.S.A. used A.I. supercomputers to win one of the final cold war battlefields: Chess. This episode, Andrew and Aidan discuss the history of intelligence, why our global perception of it changed over time, and how we now find ourselves losing to machines. Did you know that China uses artificial intelligence to monitor and rate its citizens? Or that it might be quite stupid to model super-intelligent A.I. beings using humans as a blueprint?
