I don't think so. This fight has just begun.

In a wider public, some might think that the 2nd match Kasparov-Deep Blue has
drawn the final curtain over human superiority in chess. But (as it has surely
been said often already) if you look at this match in detail, it shows Kasparov
as the better player: He won the first game, resigned the 2nd in a drawn
position, drew game 3-5 and threw away the last one in the opening, which
doesn't matter much. The only "real" victory was by Kasparov.
