A provocative and profound exploration of the ways in which computers are reshaping our ideas of what it means to be human. Its starting point is the annual Turning Test, which pits artificial intelligence programs against people to determine if computers can "think". The machine that most often fools the panel wins the Most Human Computer Award. But there is also a prize, bizarre and intriguing, for the Most Human Human. In 2009, Brian Christian was chosen to participate, and he set out to make sure Homo Sapiens would prevail. Interweaving modern phenomena like customer service "chatbots" and men using programmed dialogue to pick up women in bars, Brian Christian examines the philosophical, biological, and moral issues raised by the Turning Test.
