The Chessboard Hoax: How a 1770 Machine Inspired Modern AI Conversations


Listen Later

What if the AI revolution started centuries ago with a chess-playing automaton? In this episode of A Beginner’s Guide to AI, we journey back to the 18th century to uncover the captivating tale of the Mechanical Turk, a machine that mesmerized audiences by playing chess—and winning. But beneath its gears and levers lay a hidden truth that continues to resonate in today’s AI-driven world.

Join me, Professor GePhardT, as we unravel the Turk’s historical deception and connect it to the ethical, transparent, and human-driven challenges of artificial intelligence today.

From historical hoaxes to modern algorithms, this episode explores how perception, innovation, and the human touch shape our understanding of intelligent machines.
