- Publisher's summary
-
This collection of essays looks into the philosophical arguments behind artificial intelligence and whether one can equate such concepts as intelligence, understanding and thinking to computers. Classic arguments, such as the Chinese room are discussed as well as modern arguments, such as if one should differentiate between the connectionist computers and the digital computers. There is an introduction written by the editor, who is a leading name in artificial intelligence and upholds the view that, given time, computers will be able to match humans in intelligence.

- Publisher's summary
-
Is 'artificial intelligence' a contradiction in terms? Could computers (in principle) model every aspect of the mind, including logic, language, and emotion? What of the more brain-like, connectionist computers: could they really understand, even if digital computers cannot? This collection of classic and contemporary readings (which includes an editor's introduction and an up-to-date reading list) provides a clearly signposted pathway into hotly disputed philosophical issues at the heart of artificial intelligence.
