generation are equipped with this personal assistant ability or something very similar. This new recent development in machines has stirred a very interesting debate amongst philosophers. That debate is whether or not machines have the ability to think. Alan Turning‚ who was a computer scientist‚ wrote a 950 page paper in the 1950s‚ about a way to test whether machines can actually think. It became known as the Turning Test for Thinking Machines. In his paper Turning also outlines some objections people

Computers could be said to be able to communicate with persons and have a sense of personhood about them‚ therefore this argument goes against the claim that only human beings can be persons. The Turing test is a test which Alan Turing devised as a way to show the world that computers can be seen as persons. A man was at a computer on a chat room with a wall in front of him‚ on the other side of the wall was either a human or a computer‚ the man would ask the same questions

Mathematician Alan Turing was a pioneer in unraveling this question. His philosophies found in his published paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” changed the ways in which we perceive and comprehend artificial intelligence. Turing’s most famous advance on the age-old question was the self-titled Turing

Before answering the question asked in this essay‚ it is important to understand what exactly a “Deterministic System” is. A Deterministic System is a system in which no randomness is involved in the development of future states of the system. It is the system in which we can predict the coming output or behavior of the system with the help of analyzing the previous behavior or outputs. A Deterministic System will always produce the same output‚ however this doesn’t really spell out that in the later
