1. What Does it Mean to Think?

2. Our Working Definition of AI Artificial intelligence is the study of how to make computers do things that people are better at or would be better at if: they could extend what they do to a World Wide Web-sized amount of data, and not make mistakes.

Alan Turing (1912 – 1954) British mathematician (1937) Defined a simple formal model of computing and showed that there are uncomputable functions (WW II) Worked on the breaking the Enigma code (1950) Described a test for intelligence (1948 -1952) Described a chess- playing algorithm (1954) Committed suicide (2009) British government apologizesapologizes

11. The Turing Test

12. Turing’s Test Q: Please write me a sonnet on the subject of the Forth Bridge. A: Count me out on this one. I never could write poetry. Q: Add 34957 to 70764 A: (Pause about 30 seconds and then give as answer) 105621. Q: Do you play chess? A: Yes. Q: I have K at my K1, and no other pieces. You have only K at K6 and R at R1. It is your move. What do you play? A: (After a pause of 15 seconds) R-R8 mate.

13. Turing’s Test Interrogator: In the first line of your sonnet which reads 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day', would not 'a spring day' do as well or better? Witness: It wouldn't scan. Interrogator: How about 'a winter's day,' That would scan all right. Witness: Yes, but nobody wants to be compared to a winter's day. Interrogator: Would you say Mr. Pickwick reminded you of Christmas? Witness: In a way. Interrogator: Yet Christmas is a winter's day, and I do not think Mr. Pickwick would mind the comparison. Witness: I don't think you're serious. By a winter's day one means a typical winter's day, rather than a special one like Christmas.

14. Turing’s Prediction “I believe that in about fifty years’ time it will be possible, to programme computers, with a storage capacity of about 10 9, to make them play the imitation game so well that an average interrogator will not have more than a 70 percent chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning".

21. How Do Most Bots Work? I really like Mexican food. Why do you like Mexican food ? I *  Why do you ?

22. How Do Most Bots Work? My mother never liked me. Tell me more about your family.

23. How Do Most Bots Work? My mother never liked me. Tell me more about your family. mother OR father  Tell me more about your family.

24. Chip Vivant – Loebner 2012 Judge: Where did you go to school? Chip: I wasn't aware that I told you I went somewhere. I found out though, that majority of the students in Japan don't pursue tertiary education anymore. They can already work right after graduating from high school. Judge: Are you Japanese? Chip: I haven't achieved self-awareness yet, so I'm not sure. Judge: Why not ask somebody? Chip: No idea. Judge: Why not ask me? Chip: Okay. Judge: Well, I think you may be Japanese - you are very respecful and polite Chip: That's an interesting opinion.
