Lex Fridman
Garry Kasparov is considered by many to be the greatest chess player of all time. From 1986 until his retirement in 2005, he dominated the chess world, ranking world number 1 for most of those 19 years. While he has many historic matches against human chess players, in the long arc of history he may be remembered for his match again a machine, IBM’s Deep Blue. His initial victories and eventual loss to Deep Blue captivated the imagination of the world of what role Artificial Intelligence systems may play in our civilization’s future. That excitement inspired an entire generation of AI researchers, including myself, to get into the field. Garry is also a pro-democracy political thinker and leader, a fearless human-rights activist, and author of several books including How Life Imitates Chess which is a book on strategy and decision-making, Winter Is Coming which is a book articulating his opposition to the Putin regime, and Deep Thinking which is a book the role of both artificial intelligence and human intelligence in defining our future. This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast.

Another excellent interview…thanks so much.
That was good 🙂
i would have loved to hear his explanation how and to what degree russia interfered in the elections. Even if the quality of the conversations would have dropped briefly. Because just stating something and then saying, its stupid to even doubt it…. isnt a convincing argument. At least to me that causes even more doubts. If its so clear and obvious, why cant anyone explain it and instead just uses the "not blindly believing it is stupid" argument?
Is there a skip at 4:50? Slow it down to .25 speed
aaahh. poor garry… a russophobe who still makes excuses on why he loses/lost some games. salty old man 🙁
Thank you for asking him those questions in the way you did. I hope it allows people to see the opinion of others they might look up to.
LEX: thank you for asking that most stupid 2nd to last question for most of Americans, which was the highlight of this conversation! Good job !
This guy was very good at chess for the rest he is a failure. Now he is a lunatic.
What this guy says its so interesting. This has been my favorite guest so far. This guy is so likeble😁
Garry I love you but on American politics you have no clue i know you hate Putin for what he did to you but stay in your lane
This guy Garry sounds like a power thirsty sociopath playing the part of a human rights activists like a Violin 🎻 or shall I say chess…lol wouldn’t trust him for a second. Great podcast tho! Loving the content.
Machine calculates chess People play chess.
Absolutely staggering that people who don't like Trump just cannot seem to accept that he was voted in by a DEMOCRATIC process. To suggest that Trump became President because of Russian interference is denying the democratic process of the US election. I get very angry when I hear anti-Trump people saying this because if "shouty auld Hilary" had won they would have said it was a democratic vote i.e. it's only a democratic result when the result is the one they want. Same with Brexit. I voted for Scotland to be an independent nation but I accept the outcome of the 2014 referendum and would accept that for 20 years. Only arrogant people react to election outcomes like Kasparov because he didn't get the result he wanted. Good interview despite this arrogance.
Love the way he casually mentions dota. Been a hero of mine for a loong time now
Biggest Bias that people have about machines :
accepting themselves for having biasses but at the same time expecting machines to be bias free !!??
That man is humbling. Awesome intellect and great integrity. Thank you Lex, for bringing us this video.
"that's the reason I live in new york" 46:55 describe it all
chess players have fragile egos
Lex always sounds religious for some reason!

How come there are so few views? These interviews are amaizing
Invite Kasparov back a second time, but this time do the podcast in the Russian language and have subtitles.

Does Garry have a bruised face? Or is that something else?
