11/20 Evans photocopy
1. What are the personal
consciousness and unpredictability objections to artificial intelligence, and
how does Evans respond to them?
2. The Lady Lovelace
objection to artificial intelligence consists in the claim that computers and
machines are merely an extension of human intelligence, and consequently can
never perform an independent creative task. How does Evans respond to each of
these points?
3. What is the Turing test
for artificial intelligence? Do you believe that this test is sufficient to
prove that machines think? Why or why not?
