Have you ever had an online conversation with someone only to realize later that you'd been talking to a bot? Computers are reshaping our idea of what it means to be human.

He also discusses the book he wrote with Tom Griffiths, Algorithms to Live By, about how computer algorithms can untangle human questions.
