In 1950 famed mathematician Alan Turing predicted that computers would someday become so sophisticated that we "will be able to speak of machines thinking." The Turing test, which puts his theory on the line, has become the holy grail of artificial intelligence scientists. While no program has yet passed Turing's test, several have come close and are increasingly adapted by corporations, the entertainment industry, and even the medical community as human substitutes. Each year the AI community convenes for the Loebner Prize, the field's most anticipated and controversial event, where the Turing test is administered and the most advanced computer programs compete to fool a panel of judges into mistaking them for actual people. The program that wins gets the so-called Most Human Computer Award. But there is a bizarre and fascinating catch: Real people compete, too, and the one who prevails wins the Most Human Human Award. Embarking on a quest to figure out the essence of that honor, the author ranges across a dizzying array of surprising realms: poetry, pick-up artists, long-distance calls, existentialism, customer service, chess, and love. His discoveries are a revelation: What Turing conceived as the test of artificial intelligence ultimately becomes a means of measuring ourselves. In examining the philosophical, biological, and moral questions the Turing test poses, the ultimate subject of the book is humanity- an attempt to fill in the blank in the ancient riddle, "the human being in the only animal that.....". The space is usually filled with the verb "thinks", but if a computer passes the Turing test, what then can we say about the essence of being human? This book is an energetic , engrossing, intellectual tour of the provocative implications these questions have for our daily life. -- from Book Jacket

Machine Conversationsis a collection of some of the best research available in the practical arts of machine conversation. The book describes various attempts to create practical and flexible machine conversation - ways of talking to computers in an unrestricted version of English or some other language. While this book employs and advances the theory of dialogue and its linguistic underpinnings, the emphasis is on practice, both in university research laboratories and in company research and development. Since the focus is on the task and on the performance, this book provides some of the first-rate work taking place in industry, quite apart from the academic tradition. It also reveals striking and relevant facts about the tone of machine conversations and closely evaluates what users require. Machine Conversations is an excellent reference for researchers interested in computational linguistics, cognitive science, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, human computer interfaces and machine learning.

Our society today depends completely on computers. Large computer systems, used by banks, companies and government agencies, arrived first. They were followed by microprocessors, which appeared in the 1970s and led to the development of inexpensive personal computers. Those computers can now be found in almost every office and more than 30% of all American Homes. Microprocessors also have become a design element for many objects we use daily, ranging from household appliances over autos to devices for communication and entertainment. Few people are aware, how much we depend on computers; fewer still understand how computers work. Most people know, however, that the computer world consists of two parts: Hardware and Software. Hardware is easy to understand, because it is always some kind of box, with a TV-like screen and, usually, a keyboard. Computer software is different. If one buys software, one gets a box that is almost empty but for a silvery disk, like the ones that have replaced phonograph records for playing music. If one is lucky, the box also contains some cheap paperbacks, which purport to explain how to use the program for which one just shelled out lots of money. One often wonders why the software hawkers charge such outrageous prices for this stuff. Computer software has always been surrounded by a certain mystique. It is no wonder that the people who create it are often considered a bit strange. It takes a special kind of person to spend hours at a time in front of a computer screen, trying to make the machine do something, and trying to figure out why it does not do what it has been told. One needs attention to detail, perfectionism, and complete concentration to create software. The same kinds of tense young men, who once were found in the scriptoriums of medieval monasteries, debating at length how many angels could dance on the head of a pin, now reside in the cubicles of the software companies, where they debate, with equal zeal, obscure problems of the software trade. They are joined by intelligent young women, who sometimes are equally competitive. It is difficult for programmers to explain to other people what they are really doing, and they often have the reputation of being socially inept. Outsiders sometimes refer to programmers by the term "geeks", a word originally reserved for performers in carnival sideshows. The images of leaders of software empires on TV show that software people are, indeed, different from other industrialists. It was not until recently that software and its problems have attracted the attention of the public, and have even created headlines in the news media. Reports on the progress of the antitrust suit against the Microsoft Corporation may have been limited to the business sections of the newspapers. Widespread power failures due to software problems, however, were reported nationally. The Y2K problem has made the front page of serious newspapers and tabloids. The Y2K problem is only a software bug -- but some people predict it will ruin the world economy, cause widespread turmoil and may even herald the end of the world! Before we dig in, buy supplies and prepare for an Armageddon, it may be good to first seek to understand what software, its problems, and the Y2K bug are all about. This book was written by an engineer who started designing electronic instruments with tubes, transistors and integrated circuits. Then the microprocessor was invented, electronic engineering changed, and the writer designed instruments with microprocessors, keypads, digital displays and printers. Finally the writer became a software engineer and designed software for electronic equipment and military systems for more than 15 years. The book begins with a brief introduction to the building blocks of the computer, and shows how the software interacts with them. It continues with the basic elements of computer programming, using an example every

In the past few years a branch of sociology, conversation analysis, has begun to have a significant impact on the design of human*b1computer interaction (HCI). The investigation of human*b1human dialogue has emerged as a fruitful foundation for interactive system design.****This book includes eleven original chapters by leading researchers who are applying conversation analysis to HCI. The fundamentals of conversation analysis are outlined, a number of systems are described, and a critical view of their value for HCI is offered.****Computers and Conversation will be of interest to all concerned with HCI issues--from the advanced student to the professional computer scientist involved in the design and specification of interactive systems.
