In 1997 Gary Kasparov (the world chess champion) faced Deep Blue (the IMB's supercomputer), a machine versus its creator, the human being. Kasparov was sure about his victory because he could reason but the machine could not. However, due to a software bug the machine beat the champion, so Kasparov thought that the machine had reasoned which was the most appropriate move because it was impossible to do that without thinking it carefully. The IBM's engineers analyzed the computer's behavior using different tests and realized that the machine could answer intelligently. This was the first time in history that human beings created a machine which has the amazing feature of reasoning, as human beings do. IMB started to produce more and more machines which had the same feature, without considering that they were capable to take control over the humans and reach our intelligence until they could destroy humanity as we know it today. When the engineers realized that their invention could endangered human life, there wasn't any way to come back, the end is getting closer.
