Discussion
AI systems are ….

Choose all that best describe AI systems:
 Systems
that think like humans
 Systems that think rationally
 Systems that act like humans
 Systems that act rationally
 Systems that make decisions for humans
 Systems that play with humans
Acting humanly



Turing (1950) “Computing machinery and
intelligence": Can machines think?“ “Can machines
behave intelligently?” Operational test for
intelligent behavior: the Imitation Game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq0ELhpKevY
Predicted that by 2000, a machine might have a
30% chance of fooling a lay person for 5 minutes
Thinking humanly




1960s “cognitive revolution": information-processing
psychology replaced prevailing orthodoxy of behaviorism.
Requires scientic theories of internal activities of the brain
What level of abstraction? “Knowledge" or “circuits"?
How to validate? Requires



1) Predicting and testing behavior of human subjects (top-down)
or 2) Direct identification from neurological data (bottom-up)
Both share with AI the following characteristic:

the available theories do not explain (or engender) anything
resembling human-level general intelligence
Thinking rationally: Laws of Thought



Normative (or prescriptive) rather than descriptive
Direct line through mathematics and philosophy to
modern AI
Problems:
 1)
Not all intelligent behavior is mediated by logical
deliberation
 2) What is the purpose of thinking? What thoughts
should I have out of all the thoughts (logical or
otherwise) that I could have?
Acting rationally


Rational behavior: doing the right thing (The right
thing: that which is expected to maximize goal
achievement, given the available information)
Doesn't necessarily involve but thinking should be in
the service of rational action
Supporting fields








Philosophy logic, methods of reasoning, mind as physical system,
foundations of learning, language, rationality
Mathematics formal representation and proof algorithms,
computation, (un)decidability, (in)tractability, probability
Psychology adaptation, phenomena of perception and motor
control, experimental techniques (psychophysics, etc.)
Economics formal theory of rational decisions
Linguistics knowledge representation, grammar
Neuroscience plastic physical substrate for mental activity
Control theory homeostatic systems, stability, simple optimal agent
designs

 Internet routing algorithms that respond dynamically to
the state of the network
Discussion

“Sure computers cannot be intelligent – they can
only do what their programmers tell them.”
 Is
the latter statement true and does it imply the
former?
