Episode Synopsis "PX on AI - The Philosophical Backdrop of Artificial Intelligence"

Roze and Karl from Philosophy Exchange introduce, in this episode, our new series on Artificial Intelligence (AI). To explore AI, they begin by considering ‘weak’ versus ‘strong’ intelligence as well as ‘general’ versus ‘narrow’ intelligence. Karl then transitions to explain the famous ‘Turing Test’ by which an artificial intelligence system is tested for general intelligence. Roze concludes by considering the ‘Chinese Room’ thought experiment, which is itself a reply to the Turing Test.
