Editing Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Understanding</span> ==
The philosophy of AI is understood through '''Syntax''' and '''Semantics'''.

'''1. The "Rule-Follower" vs. "Meaning-Maker" (Searle)''':
Does the "Calculator" "Know" it's doing "Math"?
* **John Searle** argued that "Processing Symbols" (**Syntax**) is "Not the Same" as "Understanding Meaning" (**Semantics**).
* In his **Chinese Room**, a person "Uses a Book" to "Translate Chinese" "Without Knowing Chinese."
* To an **Outside Observer**, the person "Seems" "Smart."
* But internally, it is **"Empty."**
* AI is "High-Speed Manipulation" of "Symbols," not "True Thought."

'''2. The "Behavioral" Standard (Turing)''':
"If it walks like a duck..."
* **Alan Turing** argued that "Asking" if a "Machine" "Thinks" is "Useless."
* We should only "Measure" its **"Behavior."**
* If a "Machine" can "Persuade" (see Article 619) a "Human" that it is "Alive," then it **"Functionalist"** sense, it **"IS"** "Alive."
* This is the "Identity of the Actor."

'''3. The "Infinite" Intelligence (The Singularity)''':
The "Recursive" Boom.
* If you build an **AI** that is **"Smarter than a Human,"** it can "Build" an **"Even Smarter AI."**
* This "Feedback Loop" (see Article 602) "Leads" to an **"Intelligence Explosion."**
* This "Intelligence" would be **"Incomprehensible"** to us, just as "Humans" are "Incomprehensible" to "Ants."
* "History" "Ends" at the **"Singularity."**

'''The 'Deep Blue' vs. 'Kasparov' Match (1997)'''': The "Symbolic" "Death of Human Dominance." When a "Machine" "Beat" the "World Champion" at "Chess," it "Triggered" a "Crisis of Ego." It proved that "Human Skill" (once thought 'Spiritual') was actually **"Computational."**
