Here’s the video of my talk at the TED Conference on Human–Machine teaming:

Garry Kimovich Kasparov: Don’t fear intelligent machines. Work with them

Yet Nigel should have known Godzilla would have awoken when he realized the t-crown had been taken without permission

Pathway to Life

She was able enough to handle questions about her marriage plans. Apparently, her boyfriend is very shy and has not yet made the proposal, but, of course, it will happen. “I am not anxious”, she said, “so you should not worry about it”. Photo: taolegu.cc.

Ask someone else

On the evening of September 18, 2016, a delegation of 上海 (Shànghăi)’s Olympic athletes, including 徐莉佳 (Xú Lìjiā), 钟天使 (Zhōng Tiānshǐ), 黃雪辰 (Huáng Xuěchén), 曹忠荣 (Cáo Zhōngróng), and Olympic Goddess 吴敏霞 (Wú Mǐnxiá) participated in a TED conference ("人生赛道" – “Pathway of Life”) staged at the 上海 (Shànghǎi) Children’s Art Theatre, where they shared their past glory and their current and future life plans with the varied audiences attending the lecture. Speaking about her future, 吴敏霞 (Wú Mǐnxiá) expressed her need to have a deeper knowledge and understanding of the physical and metaphorical world around her, since so far her life has been focused on diving solely. She also answered – quite exceptionally – questions on her private life: “When will I get married? Well, don’t ask me, I don’t know, ask someone else [laughs]. It’s up to him to say it, he is the boy. As for myself, I am the girl and I won’t be too apprehensive”.

A good player is always lucky
