AI: Can the Machines Really Think?

Past Present Future - Un pódcast de David Runciman

Gary Marcus and John Lanchester join David to discuss all things AI, from ChatGPT to the Turing test. Why is the Turing test such a bad judge of machine intelligence? If these machines aren’t thinking, what is it they are doing? And what are we doing giving them so much power to shape our lives? Plus we discuss self-driving cars, the coming jobs apocalypse, how children learn, and what it is that makes us truly human. Gary’s new podcast is Humans vs. Machines. Read Turing’s original paper here.
