The Turing Test: What Does it Accomplish? The growth of technology over the past several decades has brought about immense inquiry regarding the intelligence, awareness, and consciousness of computers and other forms of technology. From the Jetsons, and Star Wars, to iRobot and Westworld, society has been enthralled with the potentiality of computers possessing human-like qualities; or even having the ability to think on their own. Decades before the growth of technology and the development…

The one thing he couldn’t doubt, however, is that he is conscious. He coined the phrase “cogito ergo sum,” or “I think, therefore I am.” Using this logic, consciousness is defined as awareness of one’s own mind. The Turing test leads us to the “easy” and “hard” problems of consciousness, introduced by David Chalmers. According to Chalmers, the so-called easy problems of consciousness include: the ability to discriminate, integrate information, report mental states,…

1) Describe one mnemonic device and give an example of how it might be used. The method of Loci is when you use images to help recall information from memory. This method uses location and landmarks to be able to recall certain things. For example I use this when needing to remember where certain things are. I visualize a house and if I need to remember where my keys are, I remember everything that I may touch on my daily routine. So I imagine my house and each room and the locations that I…

the Germans was thought to be unbreakable. It was used to send secret messages to the other German military forces. The code changed each day, so the Germans thought they were unstoppable, however, the code was cracked by the British with the help of Alan Turing’s machine, “The bombe”, on January 23rd 1940. The enigma was a very well thought out machine that may have lead to the Germans victory in the war if the British didn't use the fatal flaw to crack the code. This led to the question “To…

Over the past few decades, computing technology has changed drastically due to the development of artificial intelligence. Because of early artificial intelligence pioneers such as Kurt Gödel, Alonso Church, and Alan Turing, today, artificial intelligence technology enables computers to do things that are considered inherently “human” or that require judgment and reasoning. They can “diagnose diseases, analyze electronic circuits, understand human speech, drive automobiles, and solve…

The Turing Test is a test by Allan Turing in the 1950s. It is the ability of a machine to indicate intelligent behavior indistinguishable from a human. The Turing Test has developed incredibly. Now many people with cell phones around the world get calls sporadically from a robot. The call may only be about mindless adds, or winning…

scientists said that even though the field of AI is being improved day by day but it is quite far from matching the flexibility and learning capability of the human mind Now let us look a the major events in artificial intelligence • 1950 Turing test Alan Turing proposes a test for computer intelligence: A computer would have passed when its text-based conversation is indistinguishable from humans • 1956 'Artificial intelligence' term was coined Leading minds gather to discuss possibility of…

“Is it still AI when the task is to model human stupidity, or would only preventing its devastating consequences get an AI rating?” (Naggum, 2018). The question may raise a range of ethical questions. Quach explores the negative side to the recent development in artificial intelligence (AI) in her article, ‘How machine-learning code turns a mirror on its sexist, racist masters’ (Quach, 2018), She expresses a view that the data set or information learned and recycled by the AI may inevitably…

The enigma required two people, each with a special role, to work it. They changed the enigma every day because they thought hanging it would make the enigma indestructible. In 1940, Alan Turing and his team got together at Bletchley Park in England and together, they cracked the first enigma message. Alan Turing also created the first computer that could crack an enigma message made by the Germans. Tanks had more firepower and got stronger and faster in World War II. In WWII, aircraft…

World War Two was a traumatic war for many people, not just those fighting on the continent, but also for those on the Homefront. Great Britain also suffered due to the physical bombing of their country. This involvement, of both the British people, and of the British environment, has caused WWII to achieve a prominent place in the culture and memory of the British people. This association is expressed in different ways: from the official remembrance through war memorials and monuments, through…
