Garry Kasparov says artificial intelligence won't cause the downfall of mankind, arguing that humans should cooperate with machines.

What happened?

Kasparov, widely considered one of the greatest chess players of all time, told FOX Business' Gerry Baker on "WSJ at Large" that those warning AI will replace humans are wrong.
He expressed concern about doomsayers trying to terrorize minds with negative AI predictions.

Why it matters for Garry Kasparov

Kasparov's defeat in 1997 by the IBM computer, Deep Blue, is a major turning point in the argument over whether machines could outthink humans.
He has written a book, "Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins," based on what he learned from his battle with Deep Blue.
The book explores the opportunities and challenges of AI, and Kasparov argues that while AI will be disruptive to the workforce, it won't spell gloom and doom for employees.

What comes next?

Kasparov believes that machines will always help humans, even if they create problems, and that jobs will evolve rather than disappear.
He points out that many industries are facing their end, but new ones will emerge, and humans will adapt.
And he thinks that humans should stop watching too many Hollywood movies that portray AI as a threat, and instead focus on the opportunities it presents.
Kasparov's experience fighting machines has taught him that cooperation is key, and he's betting on mankind to come out on top.
He admits that machines could do many things, but he thinks that human imagination and dreams will not be limited.
Garry Kasparov told Gerry Baker that the future is for humans to make, and that they should work with machines to create a better world.
He argued that there are endless opportunities for benefits from AI, and that humans should seize them.
Kasparov's views on AI are shaped by his experience as a chess player, and he thinks that the game can teach humans a lot about strategy and cooperation.
He said that machines always help humans, and that they will continue to do so in the future.
The key is to work with machines, rather than against them, and to use them to enhance human capabilities.
Kasparov's book, "Deep Thinking," explores these ideas in more depth, and provides a roadmap for humans to navigate the challenges and opportunities of AI.
