PHL 100 FINAL EXAM UPDATED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
What is the Turing Test based on? - CORRECT ANSWERS An old "parlor game" called
"The Imitation Game"
According to Searle, Strong AI is committed to attributing genuine understanding of Chinese to
the man in the Chinese room. - CORRECT ANSWERS True
What is a Universal Turing Machine? - CORRECT ANSWERS Machine that could
theoretically compute any function represented with mathematical algorithms
Which of the following is part of Searle's argument against Strong AI: - CORRECT
ANSWERS Strong AI does NOT do what humans do.
According to Turing, any machine that can converse in a way that is indiscernible from a human
should be considered an intelligent, thinking thing. - CORRECT ANSWERS True
Turing used the Imitation Game to demonstrate the machines can, in fact, think. - CORRECT
ANSWERS False
How does Searle distinguish between Strong AI and Weak AI - CORRECT
ANSWERS Strong AI claims that computers are minds, just like you and I, while Weak AI
claims that computers are just really useful tools.
According to Computationalism, all mathematical algorithms express some mental function. -
CORRECT ANSWERS False
What is the "Systems Reply" to Searle's thought experiment? - CORRECT
ANSWERS While it's true that the man in the Room does not understand Chinese, if we
step back and look at the Room as a system, the Room understands Chinese!
, Turing rejected the Computational thesis, but thought that machines are nonetheless capable, in
principle, of thinking. - CORRECT ANSWERS False
The Turing Test it still widely accepted as a legitimate measure of Artificial Intelligence. -
CORRECT ANSWERS True
Rée argues that our moral judgments presume freedom of will and action, which is why they're
unjustified. - CORRECT ANSWERS True
Free Will Libertarianism maintains that the Determinist Thesis is false. - CORRECT
ANSWERS False
Hard Determinism and Fatalism are, essentially, the same thing. - CORRECT
ANSWERS False
According to Rée, when it comes to actions, donkeys and humans are little different from rocks. -
CORRECT ANSWERS True
"Scientific Determinism is the thesis that the moral value of an action is determined by the
scientific facts involved in that action, such as how many people are effected by it." - CORRECT
ANSWERS False
Compatibilists deny the Determinist Thesis. - CORRECT ANSWERS True
Hard Determinists reject the original Determinist Thesis for not being strong enough. -
CORRECT ANSWERS False
Which position claims that the Incompatibilist Thesis is true and rejects the notion that humans
have free will: - CORRECT ANSWERS Hard Determinism
