THE FIRST BIG WIN OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE........

              It was 11th of May 1997. It was the most spectacular and at the same time a controversial chess event in the history of the game in which the world champion in chess Mr. Garry Kasparov had tested the defeat not from another chess player but from a machine developed by IBM called Deep Blue which is a supercomputer.From 1945, the research was going on artificial intelligence but the successful implementation was not really there that would of real help in day to day life.So, it was the first time that human intelligence has to bend the knees before human made machine's artificial intelligence.the big question was how deep blue had beaten the world chess champion?
                             Well, the answer was pretty simple.The speed of Deep Blue having weight of 1.5 tonne and memory of 200 GB  was 133 MHz/sec.It's implementation was basically done on the basis supercomputer. Parallel processing technology was used to make deep blue.Due its 512 processors, deep blue was able to review approximately 20 crores chess positions in just one second and just look at Kasparov! the world champion at the most could think of 2-3 chess positions per second. From this fact, one could easily imagine that to review 20 crores chess positions Kasparov would have taken at least 2 years and in such a case the defeat of Kasparov was already written, one can say without any hesitation from this fact!(watch the video on this linkwww.youtube.com/watch?v=5UWMUjLezPk)

                                 So, it was the first and biggest win of artificial intelligence(A field which is generally inclined towards the creation of intelligent machines and softwares , also called machine learning) which is just growing and growing day by day and there is no doubt the day is near when the transplantation of human mind into a robot will be easily possible with the help of AI but it can have some adverse effects. It is very difficult but a proper study and research can definitely do the job.
