Marcus Du Sautoy ripercorre i progressi compiuti negli ultimi anni dal machine learning, per arrivare a questo risultato: l’impulso creativo è la chiave che distingue gli esseri umani dagli altri animali; spesso però lo lasciamo intorpidire, intrappolati nelle nostre routine. Per essere creativi, ci serve una scossa. È qui che una macchina potrebbe essere d’aiuto: insegnandoci a pensare un po’ meno da macchine.

Hij smijt zich enthousiast in het publieke debat over wetenschap, maakte reeksen voor BBC, werd geëerd met een Order of the British Empire en schreef een wiskundig theaterstuk. Du Sautoy stelt zich constant vragen over onszelf en de wereld; én over wat we (niet) kunnen weten.
