Read Incomputable by Gary Shiffman

Are You Thinking — or Just Imitating?

In a world racing toward artificial intelligence, economist and war veteran Gary M. Shiffman asks the question too few dare to ask:
 

What makes us human — and can machines ever truly think?


In his provocative essay Incomputable, Shiffman blends AI, behavioral science, and first principles to offer a powerful framework for making sense of our AI-disrupted world.
