A12b: Education is a good next frontier for chess and AI to show the way. A program that can figure out your strengths and weaknesses and how best to address them would be incredibly useful. First in chess, then in maths, everything. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A12a: I'm not sure it's the oldest, just the best! But chess has definitely been the greatest game contributor to the study of cognition, both human & machine. AlphaZero generating superior evaluations from auto-generated data showed its utility isn't over. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A11: Don't think about AI as a monolithic thing, but as a broad set of tools you can customize to your company's needs if you know how to ask the right questions. This is the challenge. Don't be a gorilla with a calculator! What do you need? How does it fit? #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A10b: What % of your work tasks require human empathy or creativity? What if those rote elements were done for you? For a practical example in health care, see @EricTopol's book on how AI can help doctors be better doctors & improve results. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A10a: Without getting too philosophical, what is a human compared to a machine? Emotion, creativity, relating to each other, knowing what matters most. As smarter machines do more and more of rote, "inhuman" tasks, we can focus on these elements, improving our lives. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A9: The history of chess in AI is long, a practical mini-laboratory. It shows us how well machines can master any closed system, if we can define it well. Chess also teaches us that machines don't have to be perfect to be very good & useful, only better than us. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A8: I wrote a book called "How Life Imitates Chess" on this, and while there are many parallels about preparation & strategic planning, what matters most is becoming aware of your decision-making process as a player, leader & as a company. Why do you do what you do? #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A7: Can you build ethics and accountability into a knife? Into a an airplane or the internet? AI is a mirror. We need more ethical humans instead of thinking we can build ethical machines! We need accountability in the system, so humans are are always responsible. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A6b: Don't be callous. It's not "disruption" to people losing their jobs; it's unemployment & real hardship. But we need perspective, too, and creating new things creates new industries & jobs. Then we have UBI, easier tools for training, etc. It's not dystopia. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A6a: I'm a student of history, and history shows us that new technology, even the most powerful, disruptive tech, brings far more benefits than drawbacks, including jobs. Every generation says "it's different this time!" but when we keep pushing forward, it works. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A5: Companies like Appian are filling a vital gap by providing those flexible interfaces, empowering people and companies to access all this power. They can turn AI from sci-fi & scary headlines into practical, accessible tools. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A4b: Software is everything about human + machine because it's the adaptable interface. It defines how smoothly we work together, or, if not done well, how frustrating it can be to work with even the most powerful machines and AIs. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A4a: Human vs machine is the past, and I'm happier than most about it! Human plus machine is the present and future, how well we can work together while centering people, and human well-being. These are powerful tools, not replacements or threats, *IF* we are wise. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A3b: Many founders of modern computer science AI in the 60s & 70s were very philosophical, but partly because machines were so slow their stuff didn't work! So most of their objectives weren't real-world. Now everything works and setting priorities is what matters. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A3a: As beautiful as any theory might be, you have to look at results. You have to try it out, see the data, test it by fire. Otherwise it's philosophy, and while I like philosophy, this isn't ancient Greece. Beautiful ideas are great, but we need results, too! #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A2b: Of course it's new, and new solutions also have new problems. But that's how we learn. I'm not talking about silver linings, but real advances based on sudden challenges. Adaptability and agility are the key for countries and individuals, not just companies. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A2a: Like most people, by relying on all this amazing technology we take for granted. Can you imagine what a similar pandemic would have done to work, education, and personal life just 15 years ago? Now we go remote, and wonder why we didn't do it more before. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A1b: It started with conversations with @Appian CEO Matt Calkins about the future of the human-machine relationship. It didn’t hurt that Matt is a board game expert! It struck me that so much talk about AI & tech was theory, and here was a company DOING it for real. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

A1a: Thank you and hello everyone! I have many titles these days from different organizations, but Grandmaster and 13th world champion will always be favorites! My relationship with Appian is an interesting story, but I’ll try to keep my answers to 1 or 2 tweets. #AppianChats — PolitiTweet.org

Ukraine has been treated like an annoyance by Europe while under attack by Putin. The US has decided that superficial comity with an ally is better than long-term deterrence against a hostile dictatorship. That's not leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Putin needs foreign conflict and chaos to stay in power in Russia. He can't stop. He also needs lucrative deals with the West to solidify his standing as guarantor of his oligarchs' fortunes & families abroad. Deals like Nord Stream 2. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Whenever Putin attacks, I'm asked "what do we do?" You act before there's an attack. Establish deterrence, create leverage against things Putin cares about. You can't reinforce him with deals and then act surprised when he attacks again. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Germany & US collude with Putin to undermine Ukrainian, EU, and global security for a pipeline & cash. Steinmeier, Merkel & Maas, who said appeasing Putin would be "good for Russian civil society" before Navalny was nearly murdered and jailed. https://t.co/z7IlL1hH1b — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow here on Twitter at 10am ET. The bright future of what they don't like me to call "boring" AI! While sci-fi robots and glitches get the headlines, AI is already transforming things quietly as a partner. — PolitiTweet.org
