  QUANTUM MIND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)  (From Sir Roger Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind)   https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2023/04/10/the-future-of-artificial-intelligence/?sh=65ddfac84ac4 What is Artificial Intelligence? According to John McCarthy, it is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence.  2004  paper  (PDF, 106 KB)  [ https://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/whatisai.pdf]  Types of AI 1) Weak AI: It is also called narrow AI or Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) trained and focussed to perform some specific tasks for example it enables applications such as Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, IBM Watson, and autonomous vehicles.

But how can we believe such probably absurd claims? The operationalist viewpoint is that "the computer thinks  if it acts indistinguishably from the way a hum...

CAN A COMPUTER HAVE A MIND? (From Sir Roger Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind) The Emperor's New Mind by Sir Roger Penrose was published in its original form in 1989. Before that and since then, science, technology and engineering have taken a giant leap. Humans have devised complicated and sophisticated devices and machines that completely negate human physical limitations. These  machines can drop us from one  part of the world to another or even from one planet to another; some can lift objects which otherwise would require hundreds or thousands of men power, and some propel us at such speeds on the ground. These machines and devices have made our lives easier, and aid us remain connected  while living thousands of miles apart. Can "mind" be associated or compared with the sophisticated devices that humans have so cleverly devised? In this introductory chapter, the writer pens down the following questions: What is a mind? What does it mean to think or feel? Do ...
