The Turing Test and the Frame Problem: Ai's Mistaken Understanding of Intelligence

Buy
Part of what it means to be a researcher is to identify what appears to be a relationship that others either have not noticed or have not fully appreciated. Both the Turing test and the frame problem have been significant items of discussion for more than 20 years in the philosophy of artificial intelligence and the philosophy of mind, but there has been little effort during that time, as I read the literature, to distill how the frame problem bears on the Turing test. I believe that there is an important relationship and that this essay articulates that relationship. Of course, I must leave it to the reader to judge whether I have argued convincingly that such a relationship exists.

In a larger sense this essay is also an attempt to explain why there has been less progress in artificial intelligence research than AI proponents would have believed likely 25 to 30 years ago. As a first pass, the difficulty of the frame problem would account for some of the lack of progress. One could take this to mean that the progress will simply be much slower than originally anticipated because the problems are much more complex. An alternate interpretation, however, is that the research paradigm itself either is destined to be less productive than we might have hoped or must undergo radical change. In general terms, the view advanced here is that the future of AI depends in large part on whether the frame problem will fall to computational techniques. If it turns out that the frame problem is computationally intractable, if there is no way to solve it computationally by means of a program operating on formally defined constituents, which is AI's understanding of intelligence, then I suspect an increasing number of writers will reach the conclusion that AI embodies a fundamental misunderstanding of intelligence. In fact, that is the view I tentatively advance here.

Oracle 11g Streams Implementer's Guide

This Preface and the entire book are a little bit different—and that is by design. Both authors wrote this book understanding that our target audience often does not have time to read a whole book, or the Oracle documentation, from cover to cover. As such, we wrote this book with the idea that the table of contents and headings should tell...

Operating System Concepts
Operating System Concepts
Operating systems are large and complex, and yet must function with near-absolute reliability--that's why they're a class unto themselves in the field of software development. Since its first release 20 years ago, "the dinosaur book"--Operating System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin, and Greg Gagne--has...
