Wit & Wisdom: How Much Do We Want Machines to Think for Us?

We can ask machines to do tasks for us that might’ve taken weeks, and it’s done in seconds. What does it mean to say a machine is thinking or thinking for us? Do we lose anything when a machine does work that we used to do for ourselves?

Presented by Seth Tichenor.
