THE UNTOLD TECH STORY OF OUR TIME
What does it mean to be smart? To be human? What do we really want from life and the intelligence we have, or might create?
With deep and exclusive reporting, across hundreds of interviews, New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz brings you into the rooms where these questions are being answered. Where an extraordinarily powerful new artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing.
Long dismissed as a technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence was a project consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two researchers changed everything. One was a sixty-four-year-old computer science professor who didn’t drive and didn’t fly because he could no longer sit down—but still made his way across North America for the moment that would define a new age of technology. The other was a thirty-six-year-old neuroscientist and chess prodigy who laid claim to being the greatest game player of all time before vowing to build a machine that could do anything the human brain could do.
They took two very different paths to that lofty goal, and they disagreed on how quickly it would arrive. But both were soon drawn into the heart of the tech industry. Their ideas drove a new kind of arms race, spanning Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and OpenAI, a new lab founded by Silicon Valley kingpin Elon Musk. But some believed that China would beat them all to the finish line.
Genius Makers dramatically presents the fierce conflict between national interests, shareholder value, the pursuit of scientific knowledge, and the very human concerns about privacy, security, bias, and prejudice. Like a great Victorian novel, this world of eccentric, brilliant, often unimaginably yet suddenly wealthy characters draws you into the most profound moral questions we can ask. And like a great mystery, it presents the story and facts that lead to a core, vital question:
How far will we let it go?

About the Author
Cade Metz is a technology correspondent with The New York Times, covering artificial intelligence, driverless cars, robotics, virtual reality, and other emerging areas. Previously, he was a senior staff writer with Wired magazine. He works in The New York Times’ San Francisco bureau and lives across the bay with his wife, Taylor, and two daughters.
Any AI technology that could reliably identify fake news would have passed a much larger milestone. “It would mean AI has reached human-level intelligence,” he said. He also knew that fake news was in the eye of the beholder. Separating the real from the fake was a matter of opinion. If humans couldn’t agree on what was and what was not fake news, how could they train machines to recognize it? (查看原文)

带着看似公正但微妙的滤镜描述的AI简史。没啥技术流就是看个八卦。主要还是聚焦在几位学术的核心大佬艰辛奋斗史，几大产业巨头的投入拼抢。当然还有很公式ethnic conflict啦，拆腻子椅子康明啦。就那个味让我没啥动力去看，但实际要硬读也能顺溜，还挺快的。

everything can be understood by numbers, and the imaginary motivation of goals come from stories, so the Games are stories made by numbers.
