As computers take on increasingly more tasks previously relegated to our own minds, it is very possible, and perhaps likely, that humans will be challenged to think more like their machines, rather than the other way around. Bailey was also formerly a senior manager at Thinking Machines Corporation . It is vain, therefore, to assume that the former tasks of the mind will remain unchanged after they are reassigned to electronic circuits. We can choose to involve ourselves in this process, or we can just watch it happen. And so we need to understand the two extremes.
