The Chinese Room (formerly Thechineseroom) is a British video game developer based in Brighton that is best known for exploration games. [2] The company originated as a mod team for Half-Life 2 , based at the University of Portsmouth in 2007, and is named after John Searle 's Chinese room thought experiment.
The centerpiece of Searle's argument is a thought experiment known as the Chinese room. [3] The thought experiment starts by placing a computer that can perfectly converse in Chinese in one room, and a human that only knows English in another, with a door separating them.

The Chinese Room is a 1968 film directed by Albert Zugsmith. [1] It starred Guillermo Murray, Elizabeth Campbell, Carlos Rivas, and Cathy Crosby. It was based on a novel by Vivien Connell.
