A playful, profound book that is not only a testament to one man's efforts to be deemed more human than a computer, but also a rollicking exploration of what it means to be human in the first place.
"Terrific. ... Art and science meet an engaged mind and the friction produces real fire." --The New Yorker Each year, the AI community convenes to administer the famous (and famously controversial) Turing test, pitting sophisticated software programs against humans to determine if a computer can "think." The machine that most often fools the judges wins the Most Human Computer Award. But there is also a prize, strange and intriguing, for the "Most Human Human." Brian Christian--a young poet with degrees in computer science and philosophy--was chosen to participate in a recent competition. ThisBook Details
