  2. Chinese room - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room

    The argument is directed against the philosophical positions of functionalism and computationalism, [4] which hold that the mind may be viewed as an information-processing system operating on formal symbols, and that simulation of a given mental state is sufficient for its presence.

  3. Simulation hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

    In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed the simulation argument, which suggests that if a civilization becomes capable of creating conscious simulations, it could generate so many simulated beings that a randomly chosen conscious entity would almost certainly be in a simulation.

  4. China brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_brain

    In the philosophy of mind, the China brain thought experiment (also known as the Chinese Nation or Chinese Gym) considers what would happen if the entire population of China were asked to simulate the action of one neuron in the brain, using telephones or walkie-talkies to simulate the axons and dendrites that connect neurons.

  5. Computational theory of mind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_theory_of_mind

    Arguments from qualia, such as Frank Jackson's knowledge argument, can be understood as objections to computational theories of mind in this way—though they take aim at physicalist conceptions of the mind in general, and not computational theories specifically. [citation needed]

  6. Social judgment theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_judgment_theory

    The participants' attitudes were gauged across three dimensions: risk, benefit, and process. This rich dataset was then utilized in an agent-based social simulation, introducing a dynamic element to the study. The outcome of this intricate simulation revealed a fascinating four-opinion cluster solution.

  7. Here is one hand - Wikipedia

    Here is one hand is an epistemological argument created by G. E. Moore in reaction against philosophical skepticism about the external world and in support of common sense. The argument takes the following form: Here is one hand, And here is another. There are at least two external objects in the world. Therefore, an external world exists.

    (Reuters) -Archer Aviation said on Thursday a joint venture between Japan Airlines and Sumitomo Corp had secured the right to place orders for up to 100 of its electric air-taxis worth $500 million.

  9. Multiple realizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_realizability

    As a result of these arguments and others that build upon them, the dominant theory in philosophy of mind since the 1960s has been a version of non-reductive physicalism based on multiple realizability. [10] In 1988, Hilary Putnam used multiple realizability to argue against functionalism. Noting that functionalism is essentially a watered-down ...
