Thinking Machines | Artificial Intelligence | S3-E1

  • Summary

  • Artificial Intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction. And it’s about to get much more powerful: machines that can reason, create, predict the future, even dream. AI is likely to be one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st-century.

    This is the first in our four-episode series about the rise of artificial intelligence and humanity's quest to breathe intellectual life into computers. In this episode, we're going to meet the mavericks who first dreamed of a world where machines capable of being smarter than the people who created them.

    And what better way for smart machines and their creators to face off in a battle of wits -- than by playing chess?

    Pre-order Steven Johnson’s new book Farsighted now before it is released on September 4th.
