t happened in 1997, in which Garry Kasparov,\",\"a human, lost to Deep Blue, a machine.\",\"To many, this was the dawn of a new era,\",\"one
where man would be dominated by machine.\",\"But here we are, 20 years on, and the greatest change\",\"in how we relate to computers is the
iPad,\",\"not HAL.\",\"The second game was a freestyle chess tournament\",\"in 2005, in which man and machine could enter together\",\"as p
artners, rather than adversaries, if they so chose.\",\"At first, the results were predictable.\",\"Even a supercomputer was beaten by a gra
ndmaster\",\"with a relatively weak laptop.\",\"The surprise came at the end. Who won?\",\"Not a grandmaster with a supercomputer,\",\"but a
ctually two American amateurs\",\"using three relatively weak laptops.\",\"Their ability to coach and manipulate their computers\",\"to deep
ly explore specific positions\",\"effectively counteracted the superior chess knowledge\",\"of the grandmasters and the superior computation
al power\",\"of other adversaries.\",\"This is an astonishing result: average men,\",\"average machines beating the best man, the best machi
ne.\",\"And anyways, isn't it supposed to be man versus machine?\",\"Instead, it's about cooperation, and the right type of cooperation.\",\
"We've been paying a lot of attention to Marvin Minsky's\",\"vision for artificial intelligence over the last 50 years.\",\"It's a sexy visi
on, for sure. Many have embraced it.\",\"It's become the dominant school of thought in computer science.\",\"But as we enter the era of big
data, of network systems,\",\"of open platforms, and embedded technology,\",\"I'd like to suggest it's time to reevaluate an alternative vis
ion\",\"that was actually developed around the same time.\",\"I'm talking about J.C.R. Licklider's human-computer symbiosis,\",\"perhaps bet
ter termed \\\"intelligence augmentation,\\\" I.A.\",\"Licklider was a computer science titan who had a profound\",\"effect on the developme
nt of technology and the Internet.\",\"His vision was to enable man and machine to cooperate\",\"in making decisions, controlling complex si
tuations\",\"without the inflexible dependence\",\"on predetermined programs.\",\"Note that word \\\"cooperate.\\\"\",\"Licklider encourages
us not to take a toaster\",\"and make it Data from \\\"Star Trek,\\\"\",\"but to take a human and make her more capable.\",\"Humans are so
amazing -- how we think,\",\"our non-linear approaches, our creativity,\",\"iterative hypotheses, all very difficult if possible at all\",\"
for computers to do.\",\"Licklider intuitively realized this, contemplating humans\",\"setting the goals, formulating the hypotheses,\",\"de
termining the criteria, and performing the evaluation.\",\"Of course, in other ways, humans are so limited.\",\"We're terrible at scale, com
putation and volume.\",\"We require high-end talent management\",\"to keep the rock band together and playing.\",\"Licklider foresaw compute
