DESCRIPTION:Prof. Fabian Gaessler\, TU Munich\n"Training with AI\, Winning
  Against Humans – Evidence from Chess Computers"\n\nAbstract\nArtificial
  intelligence (AI) has been shown to compete with people for increasingly 
 complex tasks. However\, little is known about how AI may complement human
  labor. We propose that interacting with AI can benefit human skill develo
 pment and provide evidence for this by studying the first large-scale adop
 tion of AI: the emergence of chess computers in the late 1970s. We hypothe
 size that chess computers provide anytime\, private training and experimen
 tation opportunities with positive effect on human player performance in t
 ournaments. We exploit the unavailability of chess computers in the Soviet
  Union until its collapse as a natural experiment for chess computer adopt
 ion. We find evidence that chess computers had a positive effect on human 
 player performance\, but this effect depends on whether the available AI r
 epresented a sufficiently strong sparring partner. Human players with acce
 ss to on par chess computers became more competitive and experienced a fas
 ter increase in skill level. Furthermore\, they started to play more diver
 se and introduced new strategies more frequently in high-stakes games.\n
