Kunal Sen was born in a creative household in Calcutta, India, raised by his film director father and actress mother. After completing his graduate studies in Physics, Kunal developed an interest in Computer Science and returned to graduate school. He moved to Chicago to obtain a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence. After earning his degree, he immersed himself in digital technology, designing electronic medical systems and writing technical books. He has led the technology group at Encyclopædia Britannica since 1999. In 2011, during a trip to India, Kunal decided to invest more in his interest in visual art, committing a significant amount of his time to artmaking. He had been thinking deeply about the convergence of science, philosophy, and art, seeking to express his understanding through his creations. His practice goes beyond traditional art forms, combining his expertise in electronic technology, programming, and painting to convey intricate narratives more effectively. This process has rendered his work increasingly personal, exploring universal aspects of humanity.

Thinking Machine II

Most intelligent tasks we perform in our lives, we learn those skills through examples rather than being told step-by-step how to do them. For example, no one told us how to recognize the numbers, but showed us many examples, and our minds figured out some subconscious rules to distinguish a “1” from a “2” and all the other digits. Scientists quickly realized that if machines must do complex tasks, they cannot be taught algorithmically, with step-by-step instructions, as we ourselves may not know these logical steps, but rather by showing many examples of the correct behavior. Although that was the holy grail of AI, machine learning was a hard task.

Thinking Machines I

In our relentless quest to understand the Universe, we often overlook the most intricate and profound object we have: the human brain. Weighing just 1.5 kilograms, this soft, wet tissue is a marvel of complexity, capable of solving problems, creating art, and exploring the depths of existence. Throughout history, we have sought to unravel the mysteries of thought and reasoning, constantly drawing parallels between our minds and the advanced technologies of our time. From clockwork mechanisms to modern computers, these analogies reflect our evolving understanding of intelligence and cognition. Written by one of the leading experts on AI, this article takes a journey through the lens of chess—a game long considered a benchmark for intelligence—tracing the development of Artificial Intelligence over the past 75 years. As we examine how machines have learned to play this strategic game, we will uncover the challenges and breakthroughs that have shaped the AI field, revealing the deep connection between our understanding of the mind and the machines we create.
