Chinese room An argument forwarded by John Searle intended to show that the mind is not a computer and how the Turing Test is inadequate. See artificial intelligence Turing Test Searle Introduction ... References Introduction Searle first formulated this problem in his paper Minds, brains and programs published in 1980. Ever since, it has been a mainstay of debate over the possibility of what Searle called 'strong artificial intelligence '. Supporters of strong artificial intelligence believe that a correctly programmed computer isn't simply a simulation or model of a mind, it actually would count as a mind. That is, it understands, has cognitive states, and can think. Searle's argument (or more precisely, thought experiment) against this position, the Chinese room argument, goes as follows: Suppose that, many years from now, we have constructed a computer which behaves as if it understands Chinese. In other words, the computer takes Chinese symbols as input, consults a large look-up table (as all computers can be described as doing), and then produces other Chinese symbols as output. Suppose that this computer performs this task so convincingly that it easily passes the Turing Test . In other words, it convinces a human Chinese speaker that it is a Chinese speaker. All the questions the human asks are responded to appropriately, such that the Chinese speaker is convinced that he or she is talking to another Chinese speaker. The conclusion proponents of strong AI would like to draw is that the computer understands Chinese, just as the person does.

The Problem of Consciousness John R. Searle Abstract: This paper attempts to begin to answer four questions. 1. What is consciousness? 2. What is the relation of consciousness to the brain? 3. What are some of the features that an empirical theory of consciousness should try to explain? 4. What are some common mistakes to avoid? The most important scientific discovery of the present era will come when someone or some group discovers the answer to the following question: How exactly do neurobiological processes in the brain cause consciousness? This is the most important question facing us in the biological sciences, yet it is frequently evaded, and frequently misunderstood when not evaded. In order to clear the way for an understanding of this problem. I am going to begin to answer four questions: 1. What is consciousness? 2. What is the relation of consciousness to the brain? 3. What are some of the features that an empirical theory of consciousness should try to explain? 4. What are some common mistakes to avoid? I. What is consciousness?

INTENTIONALITY AND CAUSALITY IN JOHN SEARLE Up to David L. Thompson's Homepage Outline by Section: INTRODUCTION OUTLINE OF SEARLE'S POSITION THE NOTION OF AN INTENTIONAL STATE INTENTIONAL CAUSALITY ... ENDNOTES INTRODUCTION Intentionality, as Brentano originally introduced the term in modern philosophy, was meant to provide a distinctive characteristic definitively separating the mental from the physical. Husserl borrowed Brentano's concept of Intentionality, but used it in a "transcendental" scheme: Intentionality is a process of constitution, of meaning-giving, and so must be radically distinguished from that which has been given meaning, the object. Physical things, objects of nature, and causal processes, as constituted entities, are dependent for their meaning on a transcendental Intentionality which cannot therefore, on pain of circularity, be reduced to, or explained by, any physical process. Transcendentalism, then, involves a dualism (though not a dualism of substance) between Intentionality on the one hand and nature and causality on the other. It is this dichotomy that any attempt at a naturalistic theory of Intentionality must overcome. John Searle attempts, in

A To Z Of The Unexplained Searle, John Searle, John Category : Space, Technology and the Universe Inventor of the "Searle Disc", a device which is alleged to be capable of Anti Gravity via a rotating metal plate which built up a high electrical charge on the outside rim of the disc. In 1949, Mr J.R.R. Searl was employed by the midlands electricity board as a electronic and electrical fitter. He was enthusiastic about the subject of electricity,though he had no formal education on the subject other than what is required by the job.Unhindered by conventional ideas about electricity, he carried out his own investigation into the subject. During work on electrical motors and generators,he noticed that a small EMF elector magnetic field ,was produced by spinning metal parts the negative towards the outside and positive towards the rotational axis.In 1950 he experimented with rotating slip rings and measured a small EMF on a conventional meter. He also noticed that when the rings were spinning freely and no current was taken,his hair bristled. His conclusions were that free electrons in the metal were spun out by centrifugal force, a centripetal force being produced by the static field in the metal.He decided to build a generator based on the principal. It had a segmented rotor disc,passing through electromagnets at its periphery. the electromagnets were energized from the rotor,and were intended to boost the EMF. By 1952 the first generator had been constructed and was about three feet in diameter. It was tested in the open by searl and a friend.

The Chinese Room Argument The Chinese room argument - John Searle's (1980a) thought experiment and associated (1984) derivation - is one of the best known and widely credited counters to claims of artificial intelligence (AI), i.e., to claims that computers do or at least can (someday might) think. According to Searle's original presentation, the argument is based on two truths: brains cause minds , and syntax doesn't suffice for semantics . Its target, Searle dubs "strong AI": "according to strong AI," according to Searle, "the computer is not merely a tool in the study of the mind, rather the appropriately programmed computer really is a mind in the sense that computers given the right programs can be literally said to understand and have other cognitive states" (1980a, p. 417). Searle contrasts "strong AI" to "weak AI". According to weak AI, according to Searle, computers just simulate thought, their seeming understanding isn't real (just as-if) understanding, their seeming calculation as-if calculation, etc.; nevertheless, computer simulation is useful for studying the mind (as for studying the weather and other things).

The Argument shows that syntax by itself is not sufficient to cause/constitute semantics. Syntax is just as insufficient if it is inside a robot. The brain, we know, has sufficient power to cause/constitute semantics; the same cannot be said of sensorimotor transduction, or of connectionist networks, with or without syntax.
