Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence☜A collaboratively editable version of Robert Horns brilliant and pioneering debate map Can Computers Think?—exploring 50 years of philosophical argument about the possibility of computer thought.☜F1CEB7

Computers can make certain types of mistakes »
Computers can make certain types of mistakes
Computers can make certain types of mistakes☜Machines cant commit errors of functioning—arising from physical construction—if they are properly constructed. But can commit errors of conclusion—arising from the reasoning process—eg by making faulty inferences based on inadequate information.☜FFFACD
►
Computers can be subject of own thoughts »
Computers can be subject of own thoughts
Computers can be subject of own thoughts☜When a computer solves equations, the equations can be said to be the object of its thought. Similarly when a computer is used to predict its own behaviour or to modify its own program, we can say that its the object of its own thoughts.☜FFFACD
►
Behaviour diversity dependent on storage capacity »
Behaviour diversity dependent on storage capacity
Behaviour diversity dependent on storage capacity☜Great diversity of behaviour is possible for machines if they have large enough storage capacities. Objection is based on misconception that it is not possible for a machine to have much storage capacity.☜FFFACD
►
Strawberry-enjoying computers may yet be made »
Strawberry-enjoying computers may yet be made
Strawberry-enjoying computers may yet be made☜Computers may yet be created that will enjoy strawberries and cream, but the only importance of this would be to illuminate other issues, such as the possibility of friendship between man and machine.☜FFFACD
►
Poor inductions from limited experience »
Poor inductions from limited experience
Poor inductions from limited experience☜Disability arguments are bad inductions from a limited base of experience. Just because the machines we have seen are clunky, ugy, mechanical and so forth, we cant assume that a machine could never fall in love or enjoy strawberries and cream. ☜FFFACD
►
Be a solipsist or be pragmatic »
Be a solipsist or be pragmatic
Be a solipsist or be pragmatic☜Regarding consciousness as a necessary requirement for thought seems reasonable until you consider how you know if someone else is conscious. Solipsism is one respose to the uncertainty, judging pragmatically on the basis of behaviour another.☜FFFACD
►
Turing Test is an adequate test of thinking »
Turing Test is an adequate test of thinking
Turing Test is an adequate test of thinking☜If a computer can persuade judges that it is human via teletyped conversations, it passes the test and is deemed able to think.☜FFFACD
►
Computers aren't entirely predictable »
Computers aren't entirely predictable
Computers aren't entirely predictable☜Belief that computers are entirely predictable is based on false assumption that humans can know everything that follows deductively from a set of premises. But humans learn new things in part through the working out of deductive consequences.☜FFFACD

Machines frequently surprise us »
Machines frequently surprise us
Machines frequently surprise us☜Computer users and even experts are often surprised by the things that computers do.☜FFFACD
►
Argument applies to any case of surprise »
Argument applies to any case of surprise
Argument applies to any case of surprise☜You could always say that being surprised came from you, the interpreter, not from anything original on the other persons or machines part—eg surprise at a joke could be attributed to your interpretation rather than creativity by the joke teller.☜FFFACD
►
Random selection produces free will »
Random selection produces free will
Random selection produces free will☜Machines can exhibit free will by way of random selection, produced in the machine via the generation of random values (for example by sampling random noise).☜FFFACD
►
Theological argument is ungrounded »
Theological argument is ungrounded
Theological argument is ungrounded☜The view that only humans have souls is as ungrounded as the view that men have souls but women dont. For all we know, in creating thinking machines, we may be serving Gods ends by providing dwellings for souls he creates.☜FFFACD
►
The Transmigration Consolation »
The Transmigration Consolation
The Transmigration Consolation☜Heads-in-sand objections too trivial to merit response; consolation is more appropriate. Some comfort may be found in belief that souls may pass from humans to machines when humans die by the theological doctrine of the transmigration of the soul.☜FFFACD
►
A human can't simultaneously beat all machines »
A human can't simultaneously beat all machines
A human can't simultaneously beat all machines☜Theorems like Churchs, Gödels, and Turings, show only that a human can beat one machine on a given occasion. But theres no reason to believe that a human can out-think all machines. ☜FFFACD
►
Confuses rules of conduct with rules of behaviour »
Confuses rules of conduct with rules of behaviour
Confuses rules of conduct with rules of behaviour☜We cant formulate a complete set of rules of conduct for human performance, but human behaviour is still governed by natural laws that can in principle be given a mechanical description—and hence its possible to build a machine to fit this descript☜FFFACD

Perform the test in telepathy-proof rooms »
Perform the test in telepathy-proof rooms
Perform the test in telepathy-proof rooms☜To prevent ESP related problems the test would have to be carried out in telepathy-proof rooms.☜FFFACD

Yes: human imitation is sufficient »
Yes: human imitation is sufficient
Yes: human imitation is sufficient☜The orginal Turing Test is an imitation game in 2 stages: 1) a man and a woman each try to convince an iterrogator that he or she is a woman; 2) the man is replaced by a machine. If the machine successfully imitates the man, it can think.☜FFFACD
