Document Summary
Attempting to use computers to simulate human mental processes: ex: an expert might ask people to describe how they solve a problem and attempt to capture their answers in a software model. Designing intelligent machine independent of the way people think: according to this approach, human intelligence is just one possible kind of intelligence. Weak ai claim: machines can be made to act as if they were intelligent, this has already started to happen, for example, speech recognition software, translation software. Strong ai claim: machines that act intelligently have real, conscious minds on a level at least equal to humans, this has not happened yet and, some say, it never will. The turing test: a human communicates with a computer via a teletype. If the human cant tell he is talking to a computer or another human, it passes. Much of the early ai work was based on games.
