Deep Blue's programming code is written in C and runs under the AIX operating system. Tune in to Garry's full fireside chat below.Deep Blue is a chess computer designed and produced by the computer company IBM. “I’m very sensitive to any attempt from any institution, any group, any country to regulate and to limit freedom of speech,” he told Serena and the audience, proving as he always does that on the chessboard of life, Garry Kasparov operates with the strength of a queen, the wisdom of a king, and the heart of a knight. Garry is passionate about the potential of AI, and he is inspired by all it can do for humanity, but his greater passion is humanity itself. Computers are powerful, but they are just tools. The key is having the correct perspective. It’s a tool we created to make us smarter.” Slipping into his Avast mode, he added, “In cybersecurity, it’s not about computers that threaten us. It doesn’t offer you a free pass to the heavens, but it also doesn’t open the gates of hell. It’s not a magic wand, but it’s not the Terminator. “AI is not a harbinger of utopia or dystopia. So I think it offered me an insight to understand the future is us working with machines, not competing with them.”Ĭontrary to Hollywood movies, Garry wants to be clear that tech is not the bad guy. “I thought a year after the match,” he said, “if you can’t beat them, join them. But while the loss stung, it taught him a lesson that shaped the rest of his life. Serena’s questions for Garry then moved on to his own chess history, specifically his legendary matches against AI computer Deep Blue. That was my personal contribution.”Īlso, Garry wrote the dialogue between Borgov and the KGB agents when they talk about the show’s protagonist Beth Harmon. “So all the men in grey suits speaking to Borgov? My own creation. “My personal experience – you couldn’t leave the Soviet Union with your family without being followed,” Garry told Serena. Originally the script (and book) had the world champion, a Soviet character named Borgov, traveling alone. Garry Kasparov and Ondrej Vlcek on taking back control of the internet Garry Kasparov interviews The Queen's Gambit creator Scott Frank Garry was more than happy to help all the games in The Queen’s Gambit look authentic. Sadly, he noted, this is the case with most movies, two notable exceptions being the chess game in From Russia with Love and the open to Casablanca, where Bogie analyzes real theoretical positions from the early 40s. One of Garry’s pet peeves is seeing chess games in movies where the pieces have been set on the board in ridiculous fashion or the actors make illogical moves. He wouldn’t act in the show, but, “I can help you create real games,” he said. Garry thought about it, then settled on how he could best help the production. But Frank didn’t want to take no for an answer – he offered to have Garry’s wife and kids in the series as well, acting as his family. Three months tied to a production set was just not doable for a man involved in human rights, acting as Avast’s Security Ambassador, and speaking about AI at conferences around the world. Initially, Frank wanted Garry to act in the series as well, typecast as the world chess champion. “It basically destroyed the barriers for millions and millions of kids, especially girls, to enter the game,” Garry said. Series director Scott Frank recruited Garry to help bring the book by Walter Tevis to life, and Garry was happy to be part of a project that depicted chess in a positive light. The discussion was primarily focused on Garry’s role as special consultant on the Netflix smash hit series The Queen’s Gambit. “The series played a crucial role in dismantling the negative image of the game,” Garry Kasparaov told JOE.co.uk’s Serena Kutchinsky in a fireside chat at this year’s Web Summit in Lisbon.
