THE MECHANICAL TURK
“In fact, I’ll tell you a story.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a mechanical Turk wrapped in
his turban that went far and wide for the immense kingdom
of the empress of Austria; he challenged chess and beat all the best
country players. This mechanical Turk was always
accompanied by his assistant, who magnified his prodigies and the
wonder, because this Turk was a very complex machine
and full of sophisticated gears, in an age of development
technology was still in its infancy. And his aide was actually
its brilliant inventor. “
Candide widens his eyes in raptures, after all these months
who took care of the perfect functioning of the city in the shade
of the very high towers, he has forgotten the power of
fantasy and imagination, and indulges in listening to the
story.
“It was an ingenious trick. The best and smartest machine
never built, and its inventor, a man born on
banks of the Danube, he was covered with all honors and his name
magnified in every corner of the reign of the Empress of Austria “
Garofalo continues. “His legend crossed borders and yes
extended to China and the Americas. Except that one day
a child, wrapped in his primal innocence, discovered
that the ploy actually concealed a scam. It was a deception
wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Inside the features
in fact, in its alleged gears,
a human being, as small as he was good, was hiding
in the game of chess. It was he who defeated all opponents.
The human. Not the car. “
“You see, dear Candido, the moral is this” he approaches smiling
Easter Monday, letting the silver bracelets jingle
adorn the wrists. “The car was not and never will be able
to carry out operations that are human, neither then nor today, has
always need a person who is hiding in his heart
and carries out the operations on its own. The same algorithm needs
of a continuous machine learning, of human beings that the
teach how to think.
“But isn’t the entire Voltaire system completely automated?”
Candido asks naively. “It is not for that
who manages to be so perfect? ”
“Despite the power of Voltaire and the use of processors
quantum, there are decisions that an algorithm is not yet
able to take on his own ”, Martino intervenes. “There are variables
unthinkable that must be entered daily
by someone in the flesh, then from there the algorithm is able
to continue, and as for those decisions, the time
later he will know how to do it himself. But not for the others. For now, dear
Candide, there are more things in heaven and on earth than the algorithm
can even just imagine. “
