Q

Reductive physicalism or materialism (T2)

A

Everything including minds is just matter in one form or another

All phenomena, including humans’ consciousness, feelings and actions are the result of physical properties and interactions

Q

Epiphenomenalism (T2)

A

Distinction between mental and physical substances

Casual interaction between material body and immaterial mind
- Only body over mind
- Physical states give rise to mental states (but not the other way around)

Q

Neuroscience and its importance (T2)

A

Behaviour is key in the mind-brain problem

Study the ‘output’ – human behaviour – speculate how they might think about or process a situation – reaction

Q

Human behaviour (T2)

A

Human behaviour is defined as the way a person runs his/her life and directs his/her actions (agency)

Human behaviour emerges from the interaction of individual psychological components and the context influence

Q

Consciousness (T2)

A

An organism’s awareness of something either internal (thoughts, feelings, memories, etc.) or external to itself.

Consciousness as ‘acting with knowledge’ requires a nervous system

Q

Brain and AI (T3)

A

Intelligence is computation

The human brain and the interpreted automatic formal devices (such as the digital computer) are equivalent systems

Same type of system

17
Q

Sensory neurons (T3)

A

Detect and respond to external signals – receive information from outside the brain – convert into electrical impulses – passed to CNS – send signals to spinal cord and brain

18
Q

Motor neurons (T3)

A

Transmit signals to muscle cells – respond to signals from sensory neurons

19
Q

Interneurons (T3)

A

Connect sensory and motor neurons – 99% of neurons – don’t receive information from sensors or transmit to muscles

20
Q

CNS (T3)

A

Brain and spinal cord

Take in sensory information - process information - send motor signals

21
Q

Nervous system (T3)

A

Major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the body

Centre of all mental activity

CNS and PNS

22
Q

Limbic system (T3)

A

Emotions, learning, memory, and behavioural patterns

Hormones that regulate the autonomic nervous system

Resonates with feelings and emotions connected to
- Hunger, thirst
- Motivation and reward
- Fight/flight/freeze

23
Q

Cybernetics (T3)

A

Intellectual movement that is inspired by questions about how animals and humans maintain equilibrium within, and respond appropriately to, their ever-changing environment

24
Q

Cybernetics vs AI (T3)

A

Less clearly defined than AI
- Computers – central
- Nervous systems – partially interested in human and animal NS
- Feedback – key to intelligent behaviour
- How animals and machines respond to environments key interest

25
Q

Neurorobot (T3)

A

Robot controlled by a computer model of a biological brain

Neurorobots are robotic devices that have control systems based on principles of the nervous system
- Grounded and situated in a real environment

26
Q

Machines according to Turing (T4)

A

Digital computers - discrete state machines
- Device with storage/memory, execute unit and control
- Store contains rules – what to do at each step

27
Q

Artificial Intelligence (T4)

A

The automation of activities we associate with human thinking, such as decision-making, problem solving, learning

Set of algorithms that can produce results without having to be explicitly instructed to do so

28
Q

Key principles of AI (T4)

A

Representation - Representation of problem we want to solve

Search - Find answers by searching among all possible answers for the best one (process determined by rules)

29
Q

Computers (T4)

A

An interpreted automatic formal system

30
Q

Formal system components (T4)

A
  • Tokens - representations
  • Starting state - the beginning (new for every program)
  • Set of rules - the code/program
31
Q

Algorith (T4)

A

An algorithm takes some input and uses mathematics and logic to produce the output
- step by step instructions
- finite process (will finish)
- solve any instance of the problem

32
Q

Interpreted system (T4)

A

Use symbols which represent something real to solve problems and complete tasks

33
Q

Automatic system (T4)

A

Do not require outside assistance to function, they can work on their own

34
Q

Formal system (T4)

A

Has a set of tokens and it has a starting state, it follows a set of rules to complete tasks required by the user

35
Q

Weak AI (T4)

A

Computer systems with intelligent behaviour but are not based on human mental processes and are narrow in behavioural scope

36
Q

Strong AI (T4)

A

Computer not only a tool in study of mine – IS a mind

Purpose is to imitate human mental processes, and are built in the same we are

37
Q

Three types of AI (T4)

A

Artificial narrow intelligence (weak)

Artifical general intelligence (strong)

Artificial super intelligence

38
Q

ANI (T4)

A

The only kind of AI that exists today which is built to solve one problem and execute single task very well in a controlled environment

39
Q

AGI (T4)

A

Theoretical concept of AI which has human level of cognitive functions invovling thousands of ANIs working in tandem, however the human mind still too complex to recreate with current resources

40
Q

ASI (T4)

A

The logical progression from AGI which will surpass all human capabilities
- Making better art
- Emotional connections
