Prof. Kevin Warwick interviewed by Francesca Ferrando. These interviews are conceived as a project related to my PhD in Philosophy, on Posthumanism, Artificial Intelligence and Gender. You can check more info on my academic page: http://uniroma3.academia.edu/Francesc... --- CONVERSATION #10 In the Chinese Room argument (1980) John Searle holds that a program cannot give a computer a "mind" nor an "understanding", regardless of how intelligently it might make it behave.
