In this video, we explore how AI comes to dominate entire fields, starting with the game of chess as a powerful case study. From the manual era to narrow rule-based systems, and on to today’s assistant tools and centaur-style collaborations, I walk through the distinct phases of AI progression in any domain. You'll see how chess has already reached full AI autonomy, while software engineering currently sits in a hybrid “centaur” phase, where human developers and AI tools co-create code. Join me as I break down this framework and discuss what it reveals about the future trajectory of software development and other professions in the age of intelligent machines.
