A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives.

'Vital reading. This is the book on artificial intelligence we need right now.' Mike Krieger, cofounder of InstagramArtificial intelligence is rapidly dominating every aspect of our modern lives influencing the news we consume, whether we get a mortgage, and even which friends wish us happy birthday. But as algorithms make ever more decisions on our behalf, how do we ensure they do what we want? And fairly?This conundrum - dubbed 'The Alignment Problem' by experts - is the subject of this timely and important book. From the AI program which cheats at computer games to the sexist algorithm behind Google Translate, bestselling author Brian Christian explains how, as AI develops, we rapidly approach a collision between artificial intelligence and ethics. If we stand by, we face a future with unregulated algorithms that propagate our biases - and worse - violate our most sacred values. Urgent and fascinating, this is an accessible primer to the most important issue facing AI researchers today.

The Everlasting Gospel of Christ will lead you into a completely fresh and new perspective of union in Christ within His body. You will understand your origin in the image of God, what it means to be sent as Jesus was sent, and how grace and love can turn your ashes into beauty.

Your past disappointments will become present glory. Read it to encounter it! It is a book for the mystic, the intellectual, the scientist, and the philosopher. The heart beat of this book will unfold the journey of all humanity before time began, what motivated us to come to planet Earth, the reason we chose spiritual amnesia, and the unconditional love demonstrated through weaknesses and failure. The way in which we perceive purpose is so vital to the human race and when we do not understand our purpose in the midst of contradictory situations we struggle in fear and hopelessness. What if your past pain can become a present platform for others to succeed? What if my present suffering is your glory? Jesus gave us the keys in the way in which He had relationship with the Father that will unlock who you are in Christ. So if you struggle with condemnation, fear, or struggle to forgive yourself and others; this book is for you. If you have had spiritual encounters but cannot seem to apply them in everyday life, this book is for you. Brian Christian has walked out many contradictions in his own life that brought him to a place of encountering God outside of time and space. His own failures and weaknesses have become beacons of hope for many. It is time we realize that the Father did not just roll the dice, hoping you would make it back to heaven. There is a purpose to why you are here and there are treasures hidden in your darkness. The Everlasting Gospel of Christ will unlock the unity of the saints and bring us back to the heart of the matter, which is love and family. This has been a 20 yrs journey to bring to you keys that will break you out of the pattern of performance based Christianity and thrust you into a realm in which your spiritual journey becomes an adventure of a maintenance free reality.

For the first time in history, we are interacting with computers so sophisticated that we think they're human beings. This is a remarkable feat of human ingenuity, but what does it say about our humanity? Are we really no better at being human than the machines we've created?By mimicking our behaviour and conversation, computers have recently come within a single vote of passing the Turing Test, the widely accepted threshold at which a machine can be said to be 'thinking' or 'intelligent'. In this witty, wide-ranging and inspiring investigation, Brian Christian takes the recent and breathtaking advances in artificial intelligence as the opportunity to rethink what it means to be human, and what it means to be intelligent, in the 21st century.Competing head-to-head with the world's leading AI programmes at the annual Turing Test competition, he uses their astonishing achievements as well as their equally fascinating failings to reveal our most human abilities: to learn, to communicate, to intuit and to understand. And in an age when computers may be steering us away from these activities, he shows us how to become the most human humans that we can be.Drawing on science, philosophy, literature and the arts, and touching on aspects of life as diverse as language, work, school, chess, speed-dating, art, video games, psychiatry and the law, The Most Human Human shows that that far from being a threat to our humanity, computers provide a better means than ever before of understanding what it is.

Each year, the AI community convenes to administer the famous (and famously controversial) Turing test, pitting sophisticated software programs against humans to determine if a computer can "think." The machine that most often fools the judges wins the Most Human Computer Award. But there is also a prize, strange and intriguing, for the "Most Human Human." Brian Christian-a young poet with degrees in computer science and philosophy-was chosen to participate in a recent competition. This playful, profound book is not only a testament to his efforts to be deemed more human than a computer, but also a rollicking exploration of what it means to be human in the first place.
