is programming like driving?
IS PROGRAMMING LIKE
PLAYING CHESS?

1996: Deep-blue – Kasparov (Kasparov won 4-2)
1997: Deep-blue – Kasparov (Deep-blue won 2.5-3.5)
IS PROGRAMMING LIKE
PLAYING GO?

In March 2016, AlphaGo
beat Lee Sedol (4—1), one
of the best Go players in
the world
Monte-Carlo tree search
combined with deep
neural networks

• Q/A system in natural language, based on machine
learning
• Won Jeopardy! (a US quizz show) in 2011
• Used in e.g., healthcare, marketing, etc.
APPLE’S SIRI

SOCIALLY ENHANCED
PROGRAMMING
15
• Development taking advantage of social networks
• Technical problems
• Crowdsourcing
• Small programming tasks (e.g., https://bountify.co/)
• Testing (e.g., https://bugcrowd.com/, https://www.utest.com/)
