Results for “Turing machines”

a Turing machine that was able to consult it would be able

but there are some fairly obvious candidates here. There’s the Turing Test (fooling judges

so Turing returned to England to take up

and Churchill believed Turing’s work shortened the war

Alan Turing proved there is no generalpurpose

search exhaustively. Every improvement in chess-playing Als, between Alan Turing’s first design for one in 1948 and today’s, has been brought about by ingeniously confining the program’s attention (or making it confine its attention) ever more narrowly to branches likely to lead...

…and so on. By doing this, we are effectively mechanically generalizing our solution. This is forbidden as it breaks the Turing limit, so we can’t mechanically solve a general logic problem above the logic limit. We need instead to use intuitive or creative thought. In our panic w...

…n. The Universe has free will because there is no deterministic process that could generate it. If our Universe were a Turing machine, everything within it would be too. Think about the deterministic clockwork argument I gave earlier. If you try to construct a better — say a mor...

…ction of life, he modeled a machine that can communicate a computation that constructs itself. And the final thing Alan Turing, who is credited with the theoretical framework for computer science, studied was how the instructions in genes can give rise to physical forms. These qu...

…rmulate and solve the off-switch problem—that is, the problem of how to prevent a robot from disabling its off-switch. (Turing may rest easier.) A robot that’s uncertain about human preferences actually benefits from being switched off, because it understands that the human will...

…, might work—an artificial neural network. They saw that their brainlike model would do computations in the same way as Turing Machines. From their work, it emerged that we could make brainlike neural networks that would act as general computers. And in fact, the practical work d...

…es. e Human-level or superhuman AI is impossible This is an unusual claim for AI researchers to make, given that, from Turing onward, they have been fending off such claims from philosophers and mathematicians. The claim, which is backed by no evidence, appears to concede that i...
