An AI based off of a great thinker has to be tested to make sure it hasn't drifted too far away from the original. In order to test this AI, they have to bring in someone who knew this great thinker more than anyone - her daughter.  
I loved this story, it was truly captivating. I loved comparing the mother, the daughter and her grandson side by side (seeing how many grains of rice you must take from one to get the other), and the ending surprised me in a good way.

Listened to on the LeVar Burton Reads podcast.
