The Chinese Room Argument

Introduction: The question of what constitutes understanding is often discussed without considering the more fundamental question of what the human mind is. Searle’s Chinese Room Argument attempts to challenge those who believe in strong AI and functionalism by proposing an example that meets their requirements for understanding yet intuitively seems ...

A note on the Chinese Room

Synthese, 1993
Searle's Chinese Room was supposed to prove that computers can't understand: the man in the room, following, like a computer, syntactical rules alone, though indistinguishable from a genuine Chinese speaker, doesn't understand a word. But such a room is impossible: the man won't be able to respond correctly to questions like ‘What is the time?’, even ...

The disagreement this argument has generated stems, I hold, from ambiguity in talk of ‘understanding’.

Hypercomputation in the Chinese Room

2002

Hypercomputation is the computation of functions that cannot be computed in the sense of Turing (1936); the term originates in Copeland and Proudfoot (1999). I defend my hypercomputational objection to the Chinese
