Did Searle Attack Strong Strong or Weak Strong Ai?
نویسنده
چکیده
John Searle’s attack on the Strong AI thesis, and the published replies, are all based on a failure to distinguish two interpretations of that thesis, a strong one, which claims that the mere occurrence of certain process patterns will suffice for the occurrence of mental states, and a weak one which requires that the processes be produced in the right sort of way. Searle attacks strong strong AI, while most of his opponents defend weak strong AI. This paper explores some of Searle’s concepts and shows that there are interestingly different versions of the ’Strong AI’ thesis, connected with different kinds of reliability of mechanisms and programs.

This paper treats the philosophy of John R. Searle in his article "Minds,Brains, and Programs". It shows, using Searle's Chinese room argument (CR), thatwhat Searle calls strong artificial intelligence (AI), the thesis that minds are tobrains as computer software is to computer hardware, is not only false, but alsothat it must be false. The CR does this by arguing in effect that...
متن کاملDo Walls Compute After All? Challenging Copeland’s Solution to Searle’s Theorem against Strong AI
In this is paper I will briefly describe Searle’s criticism of “strong AI” (which extends to computationalism in general) and review Copeland’s version of what he calls “Searle’s Theorem”, a claim made by Searle that “for any object there is some description of that object such that under that description the object is a digital computer”. Copeland’s own diagnosis and his solution to the parado...
متن کاملEffect of Amplitude and Mean Angle of Attack on the Unsteady Surface Pressure of a Pitching Airfoil
Details of pressure distributions, on a two dimensional airfoil oscillating in pitch through stall, in a 0.8 0.8 m low-speed wind tunnel are presented. Pitching occurred about the airfoils quarter-chord axis. Pitch rate, Reynolds number, and oscillation amplitudes were varied to determine the effects on pressure and lift distributions. It was found that mean angle of attack and pitching amplitu...
متن کاملKnowledge Based Prediction through Artificial Neural Networks and Evolutionary Strategy for Power Plant Applications
Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a field has grown and adapted to the changing times. Strong AI or the very fact that machines can exhibit human like intelligence still remains a controversial & distant dream. But the gap between strong AI and weak AI has been converging. A mathematical proof for this has been rendered by Schapire [2] who concludes that the notions of strong and weak learning ar...
متن کاملImplicit motives predict affective responses to emotional expressions
We explored the influence of implicit motives and activity inhibition (AI) on subjectively experienced affect in response to the presentation of six different facial expressions of emotion (FEEs; anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise) and neutral faces from the NimStim set of facial expressions (Tottenham et al., 2009). Implicit motives and AI were assessed using a Picture Stor...
