  • Summary

  • Welcome to the fourth episode of Fickle Philosophies! Today we’re looking at a dilemma that's coming more-and-more to the forefront of discussions around technology: will the machines we make one day be able to think?

    In today’s episode, we’ll be looking at simulations of understanding, John Searle's Chinese-Room Thought-Experiment, and awareness of an internal self.


    This season, I’m going to be relying heavily on Stephen Law’s The Philosophy Gym for great, easy-to-digest examples and arguments--I strongly recommend you check out his book for more information and philosophical viewpoints
