Computing Machinery and Intelligence

game” that he believes would be a good test for artificial intelligence,6 then attempts to argue against the attacks that skeptics level on his artificial intelligence theories. He later admits that he “has no very convincing arguments of a positive nature to support my views,”7 as technology has not yet caught up with the concepts that he proposes. Turing 's work, published less than a decade before the creation of Gateways to the Mind, is clearly influenced by the same level of understanding of the mind that is manifest in the film. His counterarguments (as well as the arguments that he is responding to) represent the human mind in a machine-like way, much as Gateways to the Mind represents the sensory systems as a well-defined series of processes. However, Turing takes this mechanical understanding of the human mind and attempts to reverse it. He argues that if the human mind is machine-like, it is certainly possible for a mind-like machine to be created, even if it has to be a discrete approximation of the human mind, which is a continuous system.8 Turing 's contentions demonstrate the complex interplay between the understanding of the mind and the development of technology. Through his arguments about how and why it is possible to create an artificial intelligence, he takes what is currently known about computers and the mind, then proceeds to synthesize the knowledge of the mind into theories about new computing technology. This in turn has inspired new technologies,…

In 1950, Alan Turing published his groundbreaking work “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,” which said that all digital computers, regardless of how they are put together, are equivalent in their computing abilities (442). This breakthrough in computer science has since fostered immense intellectual growth in artificial intelligence. For more than half a century, scientists have been working toward creating machines that are intelligent in the same way human beings are intelligent. Scholars…

Ex machina is a film set in the isolated mountain home of the CEO of a massive internet search engine “bluebook” ,a young programmer named Caleb is brought in to test if the newly made A.I Ava would work in human society by using the turing test . Before everything there is the main conflict which should be man versus machine but that is not always the case ,when Caleb meets Nathan for the first time there conversation acts more like a psycho-analysis test then a normal conversation . It…

women in computing is a great resource. Hence maybe why google is starting their initiative. The article I read was titled “The Trouble with ‘women in computing’: a critical examination of the deployment of research on the gender gap in computer science”. As the title describes that article establishes a known issue but doesn’t offer a solution or remedy to the problem we face. Instead it just present facts, such as trends about women in computing. One trend they established is that if the…

II for military communication; professor Jack Copeland (2012) suggested that without the information gained from being able to decipher German intelligence, the war may have “continued for another two to three years, a further 14 to 21 million people might have been killed.” However, it was after the war when he developed one of his most notable contributions to the field of computing; the Turing test. This essay will highlight what remains one…

Computing knowledge is expanding to all forms of human labor taking jobs humans would have been doing just ten years. Technology is starting to take over the broadcasting element of sporting events. It has already been developed to write of summaries of able sporting events after reading the key statistics of game ,this form of machinery is to skilled enough to tell interested seekers of players scores, and other key information the reader is interested in seeing. I am an avid sports fan, I…

However, another thing that becomes apparent is that being able to pass it does not in any way imply intelligence. Many arguments against functionalism do not distinguish functionalism from computationalism. While it is not wrong to assume that functionalism and computationalism are very closely related, there are some signifact dif- ferences between the two that are seldom mentioned when discussing either one of the disciplines. Functionalism describes the mind as a collection of mental states…

Turing Test--The beginning of Artificial Intelligence In the past half century, Turing Test is being a controversial barrier in the study of artificial intelligence. The AI program cannot achieve the satisfactory standing due to the restriction of computing chip and storage, the limits of programming language, and the lack of creativity, which leads to an insoluble result. With the continuous development of science and technology, most problems will be solved in the future. However, some issues…

The collective minds at Stanford University say that it is “It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.” (McCarthy J.) However for the purposes of looking at the question of if Artificial Intelligence can be conscious this definition will not be used.…

such a quantum computing to drastically change this. The views on this notion however are quite conflicting and thus has sparked up another debate as it is too difficult to truly calculate the amount a human brain actually processes in each second as it relies on many factors that rely on mathematics and neuroscience to agree upon such as how many synapse’ fire of each second, how much data they carry and which rate they carry these information, this culminates in an extremely unreliable figure…
