3 Deep Blue
Try this as an opening paragraph to a great article on whether machines will ever replace teachers:
In the spring of 1997 in New York City, IBM’s chess-playing computer, Deep Blue, took on Russian grandmaster Garry Kasparov in a rematch of their 1996 match. In the sixth and decisive game of the match, Deep Blue unexpectedly sacrificed his knight and pulled Kasparov into a trap. Less than twenty moves into the game, Kasparov was forced to resign.
It was a watershed moment. A machine had outsmarted the world’s greatest chess player.
