@_Jansari 💪

Wrapping up the IBM Think highlights with one of my favourite people What I appreciate most about our partnership with @IBM is that the conversations are always evolving. Trading notes with Chris Foltz last week on how the talent landscape is shifting was a reminder of why this collaboration works: you don’t have to spend time on the basics. You just dive straight into the deep end of where the industry is going next. As the scale of what we’re tackling grows, it’s a clear reminder that impactful solutions aren't built in a vacuum. They are the result of momentum, shared vision, and a mutual push to keep raising the bar for HR tech. Always grateful for the perspective and the opportunity to work alongside such an outstanding global team. @IBMwatsonx

@hya6776 Well done! All your hard work has paid off. 🎉

سعيدة جدًا بحصولي على شهادة في الذكاء الاصطناعي بالتعاون مع @IBM و @EduNeonSA 🤍✨ تعلمت فيها مفاهيم ومهارات مهمة بمجال صار جزء أساسي من مستقبل الأعمال والتقنية. كل يوم أقتنع أكثر إن التعلم والتطوير المستمر هو أفضل استثمار ممكن يسويه الإنسان بنفسه ولمستقبله، خصوصًا في وقت التقنية فيه قاعدة تتطور بشكل سريع جدًا

@Oliar7464 Way to go! 👏👏

Completed "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" Course 1 of @IBM Generative AI Engineering on @coursera . Key lesson: AI does not think. It pattern matches at scale. That distinction changes how you use it, build with it and trust it.

@sarbjeetjohal Thanks for sharing your insights! 💙 We’re glad you enjoyed the session.

@redmonk @monkchips @sogrady Thanks for joining us!

If you were unable to attend the #Think2026 keynote or are limited on time, this video summary outlines the key themes, major announcements, and core takeaways, and provides perspective on how @IBM is approaching “day zero” of the AI revolution.

See you next week 👋

Welcome back to Tech Term of the Week! This week's term → AI IDE - /ˌeɪˈaɪ ˌaɪːˈdiːˈiː/ Definition → short for artificial intelligence integrated development environment, this is a software development environment enhanced with AI capabilities to assist devs with tasks like code generation, debugging and testing in real time. Why it matters → AI IDEs streamline the development process by automating repetitive tasks, surfacing intelligent suggestions, and helping developers move faster with fewer errors. Taken together, these capabilities help make development more efficient, collaborative, and accessible to a wider range of builders.

@BevEve So stylish! 😎

Have you ever been styled by #AI? At @IBM #Think2026, I tried the Fiducia AI demo, built with IBM watsonx and IBM Cloud, and virtually tried on a Ferrari hat 😄 #IBMPartner A glimpse at how visual AI can connect physical and digital experiences! ℹ️ibmcreator.com/3PkbVLN

@EvanKirstel Great recap!

Twenty-nine years ago this week, the @IBM Deep Blue vs Garry Kasparov rematch took over the news cycle in a way no chess match ever had. People who couldn't tell a rook from a bishop were following it on CNN, in newspapers, on late night TV. It felt less like a chess tournament and more like humanity's first real look at what was coming. Kasparov wasn't just the world champion. He had held the title since 1985 and was widely considered the strongest player ever. Aggressive, intimidating, almost unsettling to play against. Chess was supposed to represent everything machines couldn't touch. Intuition, creativity, psychology, the stuff that made us human. Then IBM rolled in Deep Blue. The technical achievement was extraordinary for the era: → 30 IBM RS/6000 SP nodes running in parallel → 480 custom chess chips → Roughly 200 million positions analyzed per second In 1997, those numbers sounded like science fiction. This was the era of dial-up, floppy disks, and AOL. Most home computers struggled to load a webpage. Meanwhile IBM engineers had built a machine exploring chess faster than any human mind could comprehend. Kasparov won game one in commanding style. Then game two shifted. Deep Blue played moves that looked oddly creative and patient, almost human in their positional judgment. Kasparov resigned a position that was actually drawable, and never recovered. He became visibly frustrated, accused IBM of human intervention, and demanded to see the logs. He couldn't accept that a computer would make those decisions on its own. The match ended 3½ to 2½ when Kasparov collapsed in 19 moves of game six, the shortest defeat of his career as world champion. That's what made the moment so culturally heavy. It wasn't brute-force calculation anymore. The machine appeared to demonstrate something that looked uncomfortably like judgment. Deep Blue now looks primitive compared to modern AI. It couldn't explain a move, recognize an image, generate text, or learn from the internet. No neural networks, no transformers, no generative models. Just enormous parallel computation and decades of chess heuristics packed into custom silicon. After the match, IBM dismantled it. But it changed public perception of AI overnight. The most interesting outcome is what happened to chess itself. Engines on a phone today would beat Deep Blue easily. Magnus Carlsen, Kasparov, Bobby Fischer in his prime, none could touch a modern engine. Chess as a competition between humans and machines has been over for years. And yet chess is more popular than ever. Streaming, YouTube, Twitch, speed chess, mobile apps, AI-assisted analysis tools that let beginners learn faster than was ever possible. The same technology that ended human dominance created the largest chess audience in history. The fear in 1997 was that AI would replace what made human pursuits meaningful. Twenty-nine years later, chess looks like a preview of how that question actually plays out @IBMResearch #think2026 @IBMwatsonx
