Document Summary
Nats 1700 lecture 15: will artificial intelligence (ai) ever replace human intelligence: early ai debates. When ai began, the whole idea was whether or not a human entity can achieve the level of human intelligence. Ai took off in the 1940s and 1950s as computer scientists and researchers questioned whether it was possible to construct a machine capable of having human-level intelligence. Baum et al. (2010): over time, it became clear that there was vast difference between general intelligence and task specific ai capabilities. An interrogator converses with a machine and human for a period of time using keyboard/monitor communications if he or she cannot tell the difference between the machine and the person, must credit computer with human intelligence. Ted talks #1: oscar schwartz, can a computer write poetry? (10:56) The comp works like a mirror which reflects any idea of a human. The idea of comps mimicking the human element is something we need to think about.
