Joseph Weizenbaum, mathematician and pioneer in artificial intelligence, often shook the world of computing during the past decades. He benefited from the millions of dollars invested in arms race during the Cold War, and became famous in 1975 with his book Computer Power and Human Reason, criticizing the myth of science being independent from society and its values. According to him, each person and in particular the scientist, is in charge of promoting a more equal and humanist world, and if we grant computers too many responsibilities, the way we see human beings will be changed and we will in the end regard ourselves as mere machines.
