NU prof: Computer research no joke

hey’re working to create programs that mimic how people think when searching for information to create original, sometimes funny, content. The goal is to teach a computer to find information based on what you are working on, where you are located and what you’re reading, among other things, without even having to ask for it. And one day, Hammond says, that type of automated content generation will replace modern search engines.

Hammond made the research proposal about humor because it’s an “interesting human dynamic” that’s attractive to very smart students who otherwise might not consider being involved in an artificial intelligence programming research project.

…and conservatives wonder why they’re labeled as anti-science.
