Machine Intelligence

Alan Turing approached the question through the imitation game in his 1950 paper. The publication event records its place in the chronology.

This entry distinguishes an evaluation of intelligence from a claim about whether a system’s behavior is desirable.

Functional analogies

Artificial Emotions: Good Bye Mr. Spock! proposes emotion-inspired decision mechanisms. A useful functional analogy does not establish subjective feeling or a guarantee of aligned behavior.

Consciousness and computation

Artificial Intelligence, Human Cognition, and Conscious Supremacy proposes possible computational advantages associated with consciousness. It has not identified a demonstrated task uniquely requiring consciousness, so its proposal remains distinct from measured capability.
