Exploring Consciousness, AI, and the Mind-Body Problem

This program delves into complex philosophical questions surrounding artificial intelligence and human consciousness. It examines Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, arguments from disability and informality, dualism vs. materialism, and the implications of free will. Through thought experiments like the "brain in a vat" and the "Chinese room," we explore whether machines can truly think like humans. The discussion raises critical ethical considerations regarding AI and its limitations in replicating human behavior. Engage with these profound theories and their implications for the future of technology.

Presentation Transcript

  1. For Friday • Read chapter 27 • Program 5 due

  2. Program 5 • Any questions?

  3. Argument from disability • What is this? • What responses can we make?

  4. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem • Not necessarily applicable to computers, which aren’t really Turing machines. • Being able to establish mathematical truth may not be the same as acting intelligently. • Humans are inconsistent in their thinking.

  5. Argument from informality • Human behavior is far too complex to be captured by any simple set of rules, and computer can only follow sets of rules, so computer cannot generate behavior as intelligent as that of humans.

  6. Could machines ever really think? • The mind-body problem • Dualist • Monist or materialist

  7. Problems with dualism • Are you willing to accept the existence of an immaterial soul? • Note that the concept of the brain as hardware and the mind as software is a dualist concept.

  8. Problems with materialism • Free will. • Consciousness

  9. Thought Experiments • Brain in a vat • Brain prosthesis • The Chinese room

  10. Ethics and AI
