product description
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. This playful, profound book is not only a testament to his 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. *This book may have remainder mark*
