A proposal on artificial intelligence and its rebuttal by j. Searle

Abstract

The following are two sets of questions examined along these lines. What is the relationship between the so-called mind and our body? What relationship between mind and body is conceived? Can a machine think? Is the thought a computer program? Different answers have been given to these questions. Some answers will take us back to the era of modern philosophy and lead us directly to the present. This text consists of three parts or milestones in the philosophy of mind. Firstly, I present the root of the mind-body problem in the Cartesian philosophy. Next, I show the famous test given by the father of computing and computer science, Alan M. Turing. This test has led to the possibility of thinking seriously and conducting experiments about the issue of the Artificial Intelligence. Finally, my conclusion is the criticism of John Searle to this proposal.
