Whenever one talks about #AI #ArtificialIntelligence
or now ...as
Sriram Raghavan says...
#ResponsibleArtificialIntelligence
The 1st thought to my mind...
From the days of wearing #TeachingHats of #MIS (and #OperationsManagemrnt) ...
Is that of Watson ...

The beating (or drawing?) a match ...
Between IBM's Supercomputer Deep Blue and Garty Kasparov ...
The most brilliant chess player... as many often claim...
https://lnkd.in/gu688ur4
"In May of that year (1997), it became the first computer system to defeat a reigning world chess champion in a match under standard tournament controls. Big Blue’s victory in the six-game marathon against Garry Kasparov marked an inflection point in computing, heralding a future in which supercomputers and artificial intelligence could simulate human thinking."
This morning too, as I was listening to Bill Gates on #AI, references of #GUI was often made...
Unfortunately ... #DeepBlue remains a #MostlyForgotten story ...
And then there was a 2nd phase too...
My wearing #TeachingHat reduced significantly... but the romance lingered...
From May 11, 2017...
#AI was still more of #ScienceFiction ... except at #IBM ...
"Over the last 20 years, IBM has worked to advance the field of AI. Deep Blue used algorithms to explore up to 200 million possible chess positions per second,
...
Fourteen years after Deep Blue’s win, IBM applied AI to the more dynamic real-world challenge of Jeopardy! processing to play and, ultimately, bested the game’s greatest human champions"...

I believe some experiments in medical diagnosis... around then... or before...were done.
Honestly speaking... I was ... am...not too familiar with #Jeopardy ... my son probably is.
During the #SmartPhone evolution too...
I was closely following parents by #Apple #Samsung #Google ... #BlackBerry
May be 2005 -2012 ...
Probably... key word is probably ... because I can well be wrong...
But if I remember... and my memory does not fail me altogether ...
IBM, too, held significant number of patents in Smartphone user interfaces ... touchscreen technologies... etc.
Once upon a time ...
IBM was known as:
"Nobody Gets Fired For Buying IBM"
In 2018 ... "But They Should" got added...sadly ...

"
The phrase "Nobody gets fired for buying IBM" has been a steadfast mantra in the tech industry, underscoring the inclination to choose established, reliable vendors to sidestep blame when issues arise. "

That's what... probably... made Louis Gerstner Jr think... and write... "The Elephant Can Dance".
