Exercises I.1 Give your definition of the word machine Do you believe that humans are machines? Whatever your belief (perhaps it is either yes, no, maybe, or not entirely), use your definition and evidence about the various abilities of humans to support your belief. 1.2 Can you think of any practical advantages for making thinking machines of protein (rather than of silicon)? 1.3 Suppose you were the interrogator in a Turing test. Compose five questions that you would ask of X and/or Y to determine which is a human and which is not. I.4 Comment critically on whether or not you think the Turing test is appropriate for deciding whether or not nonhuman ma- hines can "think." Propose at least one alternative, 1.5 Some AI researchers have argued that the goal of AI should be to build machines that help people in their intellectual tasks rather than to do those tasks. Loosely speaking, "helping" is sometimes called weak AI, and "doing" is sometimes called strong AI. What is your opinion and why:Explanation / Answer
(1.1)
A machine is a piece of equipment which uses electricity or an engine in order to do a particular kind of work
Humans are not machines
A world dominated by machines that enslave humans as a source of energy. A robotic system that acquires its own mind and decides to destroy all traces of the human race. A planet facing rebellion from machines no longer willing to put up with the humiliations they are subjected to by man. Science fiction has provided us with plenty of arguments to make us believe that the humans vs machines conflict will end badly. Is that the case? Is it time we destroyed our smartphones and defended a technology-free world?
As the world becomes increasingly computerised, the debate around whether our society will be able to adapt to the revolution of machines grows accordingly. Some of the issues now being debated are new, but others have been around for some time. In England, towards the end of the 18th century when our industrial society started to emerge, groups of workers staged the first rebellions, furious that mechanical looms were robbing them of their jobs.
“A machine will never be conscious of its actions. It may play a game of chess, but it won’t know that it’s playing, it won’t know what competing is, nor will it have the sense that it is competing with a person in order to win”,

Turing Test in Artificial Intelligence
The Turing test developed by Alan Turing(Computer scientist) in 1950. He proposed that “Turing test is used to determine whether or not computer(machine) can think intelligently like human”?
Imagine a game of three players having two humans and one computer, an interrogator(as human) is isolated from other two players. The interrogator job is to try and figure out which one is human and which one is computer by asking questions from both of them. To make the things harder computer is trying to make the interrogator guess wrongly. In other words computer would try to indistinguishable from human as much as possible.
The “standard interpretation” of the Turing Test, in which player C, the interrogator, is given the task of trying to determine which player – A or B – is a computer and which is a human. The interrogator is limited to using the responses to written questions to make the determination
The conversation between interrogator and computer would be like this:
C(Interrogator): Are you a computer?
A(Computer): No
C: Multiply one large number to another, 158745887 * 56755647
A: After a long pause, an incorrect answer!
C: Add 5478012, 4563145
A: (Pause about 20 second and then give as answer)10041157
If interrogator wouldn’t be able to distinguish the answers provided by both human and computer then the computer passes the test and machine(computer) is considered as intelligent as human. In other words, a computer would be considered intelligent if it’s conversation couldn’t be easily distinguished from a human’s. The whole conversation would be limited to a text-only channel such as a computer keyboard and screen.
He also proposed that by the year 2000 a computer “would be able to play the imitation game so well that an average interrogator will not have more than a 70-percent chance of making the right identification (machine or human) after five minutes of questioning.” No computer has come close to this standard.
