As a leading technological pioneer in education, Narayana acknowledges the birth of Artificial Intelligence back in 1996 when IBM developed a Chess Playing Computer.
It was the first computer to win a match against a reigning World Champion, Garry Gasparov. Development for Deep Blue began in 1985.
The project was initially called 'Deep Thought' but changed its name to 'Deep Blue' in 1989. Computer scientists believed that playing chess was a good measurement for the effectiveness of artificial intelligence.
Deep Blue, with its capability of evaluating 200 million positions per second, was the first and fastest computer to face a world chess champion.
