Opis

The most famous challenge to computational cognitive science and artificial intelligence is the philosopher John Searle's "Chinese Room" argument. Searle argued that, although machines can be devised to respond to input with the same output as would a mind, machines--unlike minds--lack understanding of the symbols they process. 19 essays by leading scientists and philosophers assess, renew, and respond to this crucial challenge.

Recenzje

Produced to mark the 21st birthday of the Chinese Room and bears witness to the argument's continuing fascination ... kicks off with an excellent introduction ... This is an excellent gathering of scholars.
