The output makes sense to a native Chinese speaker, but the machine has no understanding of either the input or the output. This machines have a large look up dictionary data, which for a certain input of Chinese characters, has set of Chinese characters output. Searle explains that the TT could be easily passed by the brute force machine in the Chinese room which is “not” intelligent. Many critics for decades have debated the validity of TT and these criticisms make profound and interesting points which forces the reader to think that-is the Turing’s hypothesis flawed? This essay will discuss three major assessments that challenge Turing’s statement and my opinion as to why most of these are impractical.įirstly, one of the well known critiques of the TT is the “Chinese Room” thought experiment by John R. He put forth a test famously known as the “Turing Test” (from here on referred as TT), to determine whether a machine is intelligent or not- in which a computer will be considered intelligent, if its conversation cannot be distinguished from humans. In 1950, Alan Turing published his paper on “Imitation Game” by precisely defining artificial intelligence for machines. Is Alan Turing’s statement correct that machines need to imitate humans in order to be called intelligent
