The Turing Test And The Theory Of Computer System

The essay “Watson Doesn’t Know It Won on Jeopardy!” is a paper written by John Searle on February 23, 2011 that probes at how IBM’s computer Watson has no human understanding whatsoever. Searle begins by clearing up the common misconceptions about what a computer actually is. Searle explains that a computer is simply a machine that manipulates symbols based on a programs needs and wants, and that the computational power of a computer is not human understanding; it is in fact a measure of how fast a computer can manipulate symbols. Searle then proceeds to explain the process of how a computer works in terms of a human. He explains that a computer does not understand human language at all. A computer just has a program (in binary) that tells

Frankenstein and “There will Come Soft Rains” Comparison Writing. Nature is known to be an inherent character to the world around us, or a part of this world that can’t be separated or taken from without the whole ecosystem’s crashing. Without nature, life wouldn’t exist as it’s known. Throughout the two texts, nature is shown as a living, breathing force that influences every aspect of plot advancement. “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Sara Teasdale, written right after World War 1, and reflects human impacts on nature through nature’s perspective.

As a result of not being mind readers, humans have learned, through time, the importance on other subtle, verbal/non-verbal communication/behaviorisms as clues to what another individual may or may not be experiencing. For example, if another being behaves in a certain way, such as saying “I am hungry,” humans have learned that it is more than reasonable to assume he or she is in fact hungry. In all actuality, it is unreasonable to assume that this individual is not hungry and is lying. Furthermore, if a robot or computer behaved so similarly to a human, to the point that it succeeded in passing the Turing Test, then what right does a human have in claiming to know what is or is not going on in this computer’s/robot’s mind? For these reasons, I think that it if a robot or computer could exhibit the required behavior to imply that it has a mind, then humans are in no position to tell state whether that robot or computer does or does not have a mind. Humans cannot even reach an agreement on what the mind actually is, therefore, human’s are not in the position to claim whether or not other beings can have a mind. If another being behaves as if it has a mind, then that is the best possible evidence we can ever have towards proving

There were those who did not agree with Turing’s belief that computers would one day pass the Turing Test or that artificial intelligence could be created. A philosopher by the name of Lady Lovlace challenged Turing’s theory. She argued that machines could never learn and adapt and so nothing creative could ever come from a machine. She claimed that machines

LOG LINE: A young boy and his animal friends must escape simulated realities and solve their mysteries to return to their home and family. CONCEPT: When an imaginative 4-year-old boy named Chance wakes up every morning, he and his friends; Adonis (an octopus) and Ardi (a raccoon), are sent to explore a new simulated world by Mr. Turing (an advanced AI system and holographic entity). Some worlds are of a familiar nature (ancient or current civilizations), whilst others are fantastical and other worldly (far away planets and alternate time lines). Together Chance, Adonis, and Ardi go about discovering new places, mysteries, and people within.

     The Turing Test has had a rich history since its creation by Alan Turing. But first of all, who was Alan Turing? As Whitby notes Alan Turing was a superb British mathematician. During World War II Turing worked in secrecy for the British military to break the German military codes together with some other scientists using some machines that had some characteristics of the modern computers.(12) After the War, a machine was built in Manchester from which “all modern computers are descended”.(12) In 1948, Alan Turing was writing programs for this machine and was also writing the paper “Computing machinery and intelligence”, published in 1950, from which the concept of the Turing Test was derived later on. (Whitby 13).

In attempting to answer the question of whether machines are able to think, Turing redesigns the question around the notion of machines’ effectiveness at mimicking human cognition. Turing proposes to gauge such effectiveness by a variation of an ‘imitation game,’ where a man and a woman are concealed from an interrogator who makes

While computers can talk in a humanly manner, they do not understand what they are saying. Thus, not thinking like a human, just talking like a human. Also, computers are run from a code while humans make logical decisions based on their knowledge. For this reason, computers are restricted to only do what they are programmed to do. However, humans are not restricted by a code, they can think and talk about anything they want. In any case, computation is not thought. Computation is mechanical and not mental. This means that a computer can do computations, but it can’t mentally think. Computers cannot think, they can only do what they are programmed

As per AOU rules and regulations, all students are required to submit their own TMA work and avoid plagiarism. The AOU has implemented sophisticated techniques for plagiarism detection. You must provide all references in case you use and quote another person 's work in your TMA. You will be penalized for any act of plagiarism as per the AOU 's rules and regulations.

In this educational study, an analysis of the ”futuristic student” will define the increasing importance of computerized education as a way to dictate the needs of the student in the increasing role of information technology (IT) in the 21st contrary. In modern schools, the necessity of computerized education will provide stude4nts of the future with the necessary skills to participate in jobs related to this field of technology. Computers will become a more central part of educational curriculums, since the increasing use of IT will be channeled through medium of digital modes of communication. Also, this type of student will need to be aware of the technical aspects of computer technology as a vital component in the growth of technology based mediums of the future. Educators must realize the impact of exponentially expanded fields of technology that will become a prime objective for communicating and relaying information through the computerized technology. Therefore, the “futuristic student’ will be educated through increasingly complex system of computer technology as a basis for learning in a digital world. In essence, an analysis of the “futuristic student” will define the important role of computerized education as a basis for IT development and technical skills that will be essential for adapting to new technological trends.

a. Memory- The persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information.

Nowadays, computer is able to help in a wide range. Such as Economics, Physics, etc. Since 1987, a study of computer system to support clinical decision making has been proposed by Edward H. Shortliffe[5], with the rapid development of computer science, this approach is applied more and more often and not only in clinical situation. As a tool, computer system could be used to collect data, make statistics and calculation with no problem. According to Sprague study, Decision Support System has been defined[6]， Decision Support system aims to gathering and store the knowledge-based data, in the meantime, suitable for different environment users. This could be seen as using the computer system to do the Step 2 in Decision Making process.

Mason (2002) points finding a focus and knowing where you stand will be the deciding factor of what a research will unfold. Research is a process to discover new knowledge for either personal or professional to solve a problem. Unconsciously, most people are researchers most of the time with no define or formal process. I believe people do not necessarily think of themselves as researchers but research is about collecting information that tells us about something and helps to make informed decisions. As one go about their daily routine, research done whether it is reading a newspaper, listening to a radio or having general conversation to seek information awareness. Seek information to solve either a problem or awareness such as to
