The imitation game is a method by Turing to test a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior compared to that of a human. The game involves a human evaluator who carries out natural conversations with another human and a machine designed to respond like a human. Then, the evaluator would determine which is the human and which is the machine. The machine would pass the test if the evaluator could not tell the difference. 2. What is Professor Lister’s objection and how does Turing reply? Professor Lister objects to the imitation game by arguing that even if a machine could imitate human responses so convincingly that it passes the imitation game/ Turing Test, it still would not possess consciousness or understanding. Turing then proposes a practical approach. He says that if a machine can convincingly imitate a human to the point where the evaluator cannot tell the difference, then it is reasonable to consider that the machine is intelligent. He says that Lister’s objection is irrelevant and unanswerable. 3. According to Searle, what is the difference between strong AI and weak AI? To Searle, strong AI is the belief that machines can truly understand and think, just like humans. Weak AI is the belief that machines can simulate human understanding and thought, but do not truly understand or think. 4. In your understanding, what is the Chinese Room argument supposed to show? I think the Chinese Room argument is supposed to challenge the concept of strong AI. It involves a person in a room who follows English instructions to write Chinese symbols, even though they do not understand Chinese. To an outside observer, the room appears to understand Chinese, but they do not. This is supposed to show that machines may appear to understand or think, but instead they are following the instructions that are programmed into them.
