Alan Turing

removal of a human workforce, to the elimination of private transportation, and, the most alarming of all, the potential elimination of the human need to think and create. The first two are already underway, but the last one requires an evolution of the Turing Test, a test to measure…

The book I chose for my leadership essay is The Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun by Wess Roberts, P. This book was recommended to me by a former Ohio State University Military science professor Ret. LTC Mike Lear. Through the ages Attila the Hun has been branded as a barbarian that just leaded from fear and concurred by destroying every living thing in his path. That is far from the truth. Attila was a skilled leader that instilled many of what we would concise modern value into his…

Wherever this man went, destruction and ruin left a path behind him. He was called the “Scourge of God” but most commonly known as Attila the Hun . Attila lived from 406 CE to 453 CE , and most of his battles took place in or around the Roman Empire. Some view Attila the Hun as unsuccessful and unable to finish his military goals and conquests, but Attila’s strategies in military made him successful, as well as the influence his upbringing, reputation, and appearance had on the people. Attila…

The two most commonly cited criticisms of the turing test are: The Chinese Room criticism and the Blockhead criticism. 2 The Chinese Room argument closely relates to the Turing test. Published by John Searle in 1932, the thought experience describes a situation where Searle is locked in a room and is then passed Chinese characters under the door. Searle does not…

Searle states that syntax itself is neither constitutive of, nor sufficient for, semantic content. Therefore, the computers are not sufficient enough to have a mind because of their purely syntactical form of processing information. Searle argues that his claim is correct by using an argument that he wrote called, “The Chinese Room Argument”. Searle believes that being able to understand information requires having the ability to have consciousness, self awareness and intentionality.This…

In the Euthyphro dilemma, Socrates poses the question, does God approve of things because they are moral or are things moral because God approves of them? The former suggests that God merely reinforces what is already intrinsically moral and that his commands are inessential to determining the nature of morality. This option does not explain the roots of morality and also presents limitations on God’s sovereignty, but the latter option also presents substantial problems as well. God, in the…

go through modifications. It goes from whether Caleb feels she is conscious, through a Turing test, to what Ava actually feels about Caleb. Nathan infers that her emotions are the key to proving her consciousness. Ava demonstrates human qualities of mind to escape, but this fails to indicate true feelings as she is most likely pretending to have interest in Caleb to gain freedom from her oppressor. A Turing test is done to ascertain the existence of consciousness within…

John Searle argues in his article “Minds, Brains, and Computers,” that computationalism is a false logic that fails to explain the mind. In doing so, Searle distinguishes between two modes of artificial intelligence(AI)—the strong and weak AI. Searle acknowledges that the weak AI hypothesis, which claims that digital computers are merely powerful tools, could potentially be correct. However, Searle objects the strong AI hypothesis because it claims that appropriately programmed computer is not…

While watching a movie maybe like Disney or Pixar have ever noticed little cameos of pervious characters in new movies. Some appearances might be a mere nod to another story just for the sake of a reference. While others seem to confirm the existence of a timeline shared by several movies. There are various theories about how Disney movies are connected. But there is a network of connections between Frozen, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid. So how are the movies…

Martin Luther King said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” He was the rightful leader of this cause, and that made this movement much more successful than it would have been without him. But, was this the case on Animal Farm? After the rebellion, the pigs rose discreetly into power. The pigs were not the right leaders for Animal Farm, although it was…
