ne article described Deep Blue’s victory not as that of a computer, which was just a dumb machine, but as the victory of hundreds of programmers over Kasparov, a single individual. That way of programming is changing dramatically. After a long hiatus, the power of machine learning has taken off. Much of th

, we programmed computers using algorithms we understood at least in principle. So when machines did amazing things like beating world chess champion Garry Kasparov, we could say that the victorious programs were designed with algorithms based on our own understanding—using, in this instance, the experience and a

oscillating green-on-black binary figures. The drawings and binary figures are animated using algorithms from mathematician John Horton Conway’s 1970 Game of Life, a “cellular automaton.” Conway set up parameters for any square (“cell”) to be lit (“alive”) or dark (“dead”) in an infinite, two-dimensional grid.
