    Alan Turing is known to be the father of the modern computer, and the skewed depiction of his relationship between him and his machine in the “Imitation Game (2015)” displays as to why Alan Turing may have had a keen interest in the idea of a machine's ability to “obtain” human consciousness. Alan Turing develops, and presents his Turing Test in his article “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” that entails having three groups: one of them is the machine, the other is a human, and the last is a

    movie, we are showed that Alan has feelings for his dear friend Christopher and that Turing attends an all-boys-academy. This, in fact, is true. Christopher did genuinely exist and the school at which they attended was called Sherborne School in Dorset. In the film we learned that Alan Turing was a homosexual, scared and closeted about his true identity. Once more, this is another true fact. Unfortunately, Turing was in a time period where being gay was a disgrace and outlawed in England. He was convicted

    its ability to pass a claimed variation of the Turing Test. I will argue that Ava passes the original Turing Test as well as Nathan’s claimed version of the Turing Test. I will first explain and elucidate the significance of the classical Turing Test and Nathan’s Test. Secondly, I will argue that Nathan’s “Turing Test” is not actually a version of the Turing Test but a significantly different test. Finally I will argue that Ava passes the classical Turing Test and Nathan’s Test. Alan Turing’s test

    "The Imitation Game" is a film about Britain's darkest days in WWII and the life of Alan Turing. In 1939, an extremely intelligence group that needed to break the Nazi code, had been hired in Government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park. Their gathering was all about breaking Nazi codes, with the exception of Turing (Eliana Dockterman). Turing's machine, Christopher, required the reservation of £100,000 from the legislature or council to be built (Tnn). The machine at long last worked, however

Lastly, was when Turing was turning Joan down and telling her that she was only close to him to help break Enigma, and now she can leave him alone. This lead to Joan slapping Turing, which is where the feeling and overall shot portrays. After the slap you can see the slapped side of Turing’s face and their was no marks or indications of a confrontation. Even the aftermath of Turing expression didn’t show any evidence that he was

    mathematician Alan Turing is one of extreme feats and tragedy. Even from a young age, Turing was misunderstood and unappreciated, and this became a common theme all the way to his death at the young age of 41. Alan Turing envisions a digital world centuries ahead of his time. Everything he did still has a major impact on our modern day world. Yet his impact is still unrecognized. Alan Mathison Turing was born on June 23, 1912 in Maida Vale, London. Even from a young age Turing showed signs of a genius

    Alan Turing, “father” of modern computers, created the Turing Machine in order to prove, through the use of an imitation game, that computers can think. John Searle argued that the Turing Test is simply just imitating, rather than thinking. Based on Searle’s argument against the Turing Test, I think that computers cannot have minds. Although Turing argues that computers can think, there are many arguments, such as Searle’s Chinese room argument, and defenses that I will present that support Searle

    In film, Ex Machina, the plot revolves around a robot, Ava, and its ability to pass the Turing Test. More importantly, the film raises the question of whether or not Ava is conscious. I will argue that Ava is conscious. To do this, I will first define and explain what consciousness is. I will then argue that the best metaphysical model to understand and determine consciousness is Chalmer’s type-a materialism. Then, since consciousness can only be physically understood, we can only use behavior type
