Joseph Weizenbaum s influential 1976 book ComputerPower and Human Reason From Judgment To Calculation San Francisco W. H. Freeman, 1976 ISBN 0 7167 0463 3 displays his ambivalence towards computer technology and lays out his case while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions because computers will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom . Weizenbaum makes the crucial distinction between deciding and choosing. Deciding is a computational activity, something that can ultimately be programmed. It is the capacity to choose that ultimately makes us human. Choice, however, is the product of judgment, not calculation. Comprehensive human judgment is able to include non mathematical factors such as emotions. Judgment can compare apples and oranges, and can do so without quantifying each fruit type and then reductively quantifying each to factors necessary for mathematical comparison. While the book may seem quaint by today s standards, comments printed on the back cover might provide some insight into the seriousness with which the Weizenbaum s commentary and insights were received by the intelligentsia of the time Dare I say it? This is the best book I have read on the impact of computers on society, and on technology, and man s image of himself.
