Mind VS. Machine: Source #7

Christian, Brian. "Mind Vs. Machine" Atlantic Monthly (10727825). Vol. 307 Issue 2, p58-69. March 2011.

This article talks about the differences between human thinking and that of the computer. Using tests such as the Turing Test, we try to out-human a computer. The author of this article talks about his journey with the Turing Test and how the process goes. He also explains how human thinking is different from that of a computer's way of thinking.

This article is very helpful for my topic because it gives someone who would have no idea what exactly AI was some insight on what it is. It would help explain what some scientists are trying to accomplish with chat bots and how they are trying to mimic the way humans talk. It also gives a little history behind AI and how much it has grown.

  1. Brian is definitely a credible source of information because he is most known for the things that he did in this article. The fact that he was able to give eye-witness accounts of what happens during a Turing Test is pretty conclusive that he knows what he is talking about.
