The conditions of the present scenario are as follows: a machine, Siri*, capable of passing the Turing test, is being insulted by a 10 year old boy, whose mother is questioning the appropriateness of punishing him for his behavior. We cannot answer the mother's question without speculating as to what A.M. Turing and John Searle, two 20th century philosophers whose views on artificial intelligence are starkly contrasting, would say about this predicament. Furthermore, we must provide fair and balanced

crazy and incredible one; however, in the case of Alan Turing it appears to be true. Due to the nature of his work during World War II people are only just know learning how vital this man truly was not just to winning the war, but to creating the technology we use every day. During the war, Turing worked at Bletchley Park which housed the code breakers who helped decipher intelligence communication to help the Allies defeat Nazi Germany. Turing was invaluable to Bletchley as his work dealt with deciphering

The Beginning Alan Mathison Turing was born on June 23, 1912 in London, England to Parent Julius Mathison and Ethel Sara Turing. Alan Turing was the second and last child of Ethel and Julius. The Turing family was part of the upper middle class; Julius Mathison was a part of the Indian Civil Service serving in the Madras Presidency. Ethel Sara Turing was the daughter of the chief engineer of the Madras railway. Alan and his older brother were fostered in many English homes before their father

Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges London: Burnett Books Ltd, 2000 Andrew Hodges brings Alan Turing to life in the namesake title, Alan Turing: The Enigma. Alan Turing, a war hero in his own right, worked during World War II at Bletchley Park in England which was the site housing British codebreakers for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS). One of his main objectives was to crack the German Enigma machine’s code. Turing’s work was crucial to the war, and beyond that, he is known

A Biography of Alan Turing, with Mathematics. From the middle name one may suspect a certain class value,although the "Math" bit is a strange coincidence. His father went to Oxford and then worked for the Indian Civil Service. His mother's father also worked in India. He was born in 1912, their second son. 1926 his father retired so perhaps he had something of normal family life from then on. Went to Sherborne, one of older public schools. Whilst there he became a close friend of Christopher

Alan Turing was a famous British mathematician and computer scientist who was determined to prove that machines at some point (possibly sometime in the future) would be able to surpass humans in intelligence levels. In order to prove this true, he created what became to be known as, “The Turing Test.” This test was basically to see if a computer could trick a person into believing that it was human. It would be asked a series of questions, which would be compared to responses of the human. It was

~Alan Turing~ By: Matthew Medrano Alan Turing was born in June 23, 1912, Maida Vale. He later died in Wilmslow, United Kingdom, in June 7, 1954. On 8 June 1954, Turing's housekeeper found him dead. He had died the previous day. His full name is Alan Mathison Turing. A post-mortem examination established that the cause of death was cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined that he had committed suicide, and he was cremated at Woking Crematorium on 12 June 1954. In 1941, Turing proposed marriage

Alan Turing & The A.I. Alan Turing cracked the enigma code on July 9th, 1941 and laid the infrastructure for artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has come a long way since the first robot was perfected. In 1950, Alan Turing published, Computer Machinery and Intelligence. This book introduced the birth of artificial intelligence as we know it today. Millions of robots with advanced technology and uses are being created every day since the emergence of this first robot occurred in 1969

Mathison Turing was born to Julius Mathison and Ethel Sara Turing. His Father was involved in the Indian Civil service and served under the Madras Presidency, where he met and married Alan's mother, Ethel Sara Stoney. Alan was given birth to in a nursing home Paddington, London. Alan Turing showed signs of high intelligence at a very young age. Most teachers knew this, but no one really respected this. Alan did not do very well during his early school years. At age 13( 1922), Alan Turing attended

The Turing Test determines if an AI system is intelligent. The test requires the computer to have a normal conversation with a human. However, there are limitations to this test. A better alternative is to have computers do an 8th grade science exam. Answering exam questions requires scientific reasoning, language processing, and knowledge of the world. The Turing Test has problems. First, the conditions of the Turing Test are not well-defined. For example, it doesn't say what type of questions
