Show Notes

The Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour indistinguishable from a human. Many think that Turing’s proposal for intelligence, especially creativity, has been proven inadequate. Is the Lovelace test a better alternative? What are the capabilities and limitations of AI? Robert J. Marks and Dr. Selmer Bringsjord discuss the Turing test, the Lovelace test, and the limitations of artificial intelligence. They also talk about Kurt Gödel’s mathematical proof of the existence of God. Is Gödel’s proof valid? Show Notes Gödel’s Ontological Proof Additional Resources
