Study Notes
Chinese Room Argument
- The Chinese Room Argument is a thought experiment that questions whether a computer can truly understand Chinese or any language.
- Imagine a person in a room with a library of rule books, blank exercise books, and writing utensils, receiving Chinese characters as input and producing responses according to the rules.
- The person does not understand Chinese, but the output might be so good that others think the person is a native speaker.
- This shows that a computer can process and respond to language without truly understanding it.
Approaches to AI
- There are four approaches to Artificial Intelligence:
- Thinking Humanly: understanding how humans think and trying to replicate that.
- Thinking Rationally: studying how to do things correctly and make rational decisions.
- Acting Humanly: trying to make a computer act like a human, passing the Turing Test.
- Acting Rationally: trying to make a computer do the "right thing" to achieve a goal.
Turing Test
- The Turing Test is a test for Acting Humanly, where a computer and human are interrogated by a judge, and the computer passes if the judge can't tell the difference.
- To pass the test, the computer needs to have a command of language, wide range of knowledge, human traits, reason, and ability to learn.
- The Loebner Prize competition is a modern version of the Turing Test.
Definitions of AI
- Different authors have different definitions of Artificial Intelligence, but all relate to creating machines that can perform tasks that require human-like intelligence.
- Examples of definitions include "The study of the computations that make it possible to perceive, reason, and act" (Winston, 1992) and "The design and study of computer programs that behave intelligently" (Dean et al., 1995).
