It depends, actually. There is a theortical possibility that IBM may have been successful with some of its cybernetics research.

Whether this was an accidental emergent process or it was forced-emergent is a matter of debate. If it's a runaway multiple=emergent, then IBM wasn't the causative effect, and Deep Blue had human intervention.

So I'm inclined to think that there was cheating. Kasparov might have been right, and there is a very high probability that he is correct.

It depends. Is the mass information flow and storage capacity of public nets and information churn enough to trigger a multiple-emergent? There isn't even a theortical quantity to base a sample on. The only comparsion we have is the human brain, and that hasn't even been analyzed to the core, much less built successfully as far as successful neural net prototypes go though.

So, yes, they probably had human intervention, but this cannot be taken as a 100% probability.

A Clarke posit in 3001 states that it takes a petabyte to hold the whole of a human lifetime. I believe the appendix cited a source of study where this was postulated in science. I don't recall the study, though, or the cited author, so... I don't know.

In the wake of such an eventuality, a Turing test would be insufficent to draw conclusions.

It's an interesting situation though. Realize that we're no closer to knowing what trigged our own self-awareness, much less how to model a situation in which one might emerge.

Hmm.
