It is well understood that humans and computers have different strengths
and weaknesses when it comes to solving problems. But what happens when
they need to work together? Is computational power, human ingenuity or
some mix of the two the key factor in arriving at the most efficient
solution? This talk will explore a surprising example from the world of
chess that helps to explain why Palantir chooses to build software in the
way it does.
As usual refreshments will be served 15 minutes before the start of the talk.
