I believe we will continue to read these kind of news.  Deep Fritz, a chess computer, just beat World chess champion, Vladimir Kramnik.  On a six game encounter, Deep Fritz won two and four ended in draws.

IN an encounter in October 2002, Kramnik and Deep Fritz were even after eight games.

The computer grew more powerful — the human did not, which only means pretty soon, we foresee a desktop chess computer will soon beat almost everybody.

What of course we see, is that it is easy to clone Deep Fritz - you can easily replicate thousands of these chess machines, while talent like Kramnik are only one in a hundred million, and will probably take at least 10 years to 20 to become really good.

So where do you put your money — in machine or human intelligence?  What is the future of the human race?
