Summary - 5

We had only one class in this week. The main topic in this week was artificial intelligence. Normally a robot is a good example when we talk about artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is both the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it. A definition about A.I is the science of making machines does things that would require intelligence as if done by humans.

Also we have to know some information about Alan Turing. He was founder of computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematician, philosopher, codebreaker. And he invented very interesting game ‘Imitation game’. It is played with three people, a man, a woman, and an interrogator who may be of either sex. The interrogator stays in a room apart from the other two. The object of the game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two the man is and which the woman is. It is the man's object in the game to try and cause the interrogator to make the wrong identification. The object of the game for the woman is to help the interrogator. We now ask the question, ‘What will happen when a machine takes the part of the man in this game?’ Will the interrogator decide wrongly as often when the game is played like this as he does when the game is played between a man and a woman? These questions replace our original question, “Can machines think?”
