The most human human

Book • 2011
In this book, Brian Christian delves into the intersection of artificial intelligence and human nature through his participation in the 2009 Loebner Prize competition, a variant of the Turing Test.

Christian examines what makes humans unique by comparing human abilities with those of advanced computer programs.

He explores various fields such as chess, psychiatry, and the law to understand the philosophical, biological, and moral issues raised by AI. The book discusses how our interactions with computers are forcing us to reevaluate what it means to be human and intelligent in the 21st century.
