Document Summary

Alex s vigny, phd, apr, mcipr (winter term, 2013) Itc alan turing computing machinery and intelligence . Different ways of asking the question: a gallup poll. A woman, a man and an interrogator. The woman, the man and the interrogator are in different rooms. Then the man is replaced with a computer. If the interrogator can"t distinguish who is the computer and the man, then you have a thinking machine. If you need someone to repair something in your house, the only way to know if it"s them is a voice of recognition know what they"re talking about. This seems to draw a solid line between human beings" physical and mental capabilities. The object isn"t a humanoid robot, but a thinking machine . The question/answer paradigm is insufficient but we can talk about pretty much anything in a question and answer format, that is that we can use language to talk about most human experience.
