History

Historical Context

In 1997 IBM’s upgraded Deep Blue defeated world champion Garry Kasparov 3½–2½ in New York, earning a $700,000 prize and marking the first computer victory over a reigning chess champion. The match sparked the perception that AI could rival human expertise, a view that now underlies the AI policy talks between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
