Dr. Weizenbaum, rest in peace.

Much of the content is too close for comfort to the MIT release. Would like someone to evaluate that issue. Perhaps more material from a diversity of sources would help expand and diversify the article. There could be much more, especially given his legacy.

It seems there is another version of the book, ISBN 0716726017, with title Computer Power and Human Reason II, possibly published in 1997 according to this reference and this. Does anyone know anything about this, and how it differs from the other book? From what I can work out this book has 352 pages whilst the original has 300. But I cannot find a single copy anywhere. Thanks Luciano.

Shouldn't there be some mention in the header of this article that Joseph Weizenbaum was one of the fathers of modern artificial intelligence?--Oracleofottawa (talk) 00:28, 4 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Although the article correctly cites JW saying he had (only) four girls, an article in the Guardian says that "Then, in the late 1940s, the couple got divorced, with Goode taking custody of their son." It seems JW is talking about his intact family.d I think the Guardian is a pretty good source, but given the direct quotation which it contradicts, I think we should look for an additional source stating that he had a son and then add that information.
