Jon Stewart Explains When He Thinks Computers Will Be Like Humans (VIDEO)

Brian Christian, an author and expert on how computers and humans interact, was on 'The Daily Show With Jon Stewart' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on Comedy Central), where he discussed with Jon Stewart how far along computers are in mimicking human characteristics.

"Here's when I think computers will be human," Stewart proclaimed, during their discussion. "When they are walking down the street, and they trip, and they look up and go 'I meant to do that'."

"When they evolve a sense of neurosis," Stewart continued. "When they walk up to Alex Trebek and go 'I wonder if he thinks I'm an a-hole?'"

"That's something called 'theory of mind'," Christian elegantly explained.

Fair enough, but it was funnier when the computer tripped and fell down.
