Scientists still don't know the answer to this infamous question - Charles Wallace & Dan Kwartler

In 1980, philosopher John Searle developed a thought experiment in response to AI advancement at the time. His aim was to interrogate whether a programmed computer has cognitive states, and asked: if a computer looks like it understands something, does that mean it actually understands the way a human does? Charles Wallace and Dan Kwartler explore whether or not AI could have a mind like ours. Lesson by Charles Wallace and Dan Kwartler, directed by Hernando Bahamon, Vicente Numpaque, Globizco Studios.
