Document Summary
Alan turing- turing test and imitation game: design a fair test to determine whether a machine is actually thinking, and not merely simulating thinking. 1) not impose requirements that are too strong (poetry) 2) not to make requirements too weak (intimate objects pass) 3) no requirements that cannot be understood well enough to tell if something meets them (consciousness). Ai (weak and strong)- strong artificial intelligence: a machine that can actually think is believed to have strong ai. Weak artificial intelligence: a machine that can only simulate thinking is thought to have weak. Arthur eddington- he has a theory of the two tables. The common sense world is the view of the world derived from sense experience. Suppose that when our common sense view of the world and a scientifically informed of the world differ, then preference must be given to the scientific picture.
