“A different way of looking at the way the computer age evolved is sort of Ada Lovelace’s way which is that computers and humans will evolve symbiotically. They’ll be partners. We will get more intimately connected to our machines and the machines will amplify our intelligence and our creativity will amplify what the machines could do. And we don’t need to try to create robots that’ll work without us. It’s kind of cooler to create this partnership of humans and technology or as she put it the humanities and engineering.”
– Walter Isaacson on the Turing Test and Ada Lovelace
Particularly fits in with the ethos of our very own Ada’s List, named after Ada Lovelace herself of course!
