STRONG AI AND SEARL'S CHINESE ROOM (from Sir Roger Penrose's "The Emperor's New Mind) Algorithm, a calculation procedure of some kind. For example the algorithm of a thermostat is simple; but the algorithm for any mental activity of a human brain, it would be more. But according to Strong AI, it is still algorithm whether simple as the thermostat's one or the vastly complicated one of the human brain which includes conscious manifestations; will differ in degree, and not in principle. Differ in degree of complications or higher order structures or self-referential properties, or some other attributes one might assign to an algorithm. The mental activities such as thinking, feeling, understanding, intelligence, consciousness according to strong AI view are mere algorithms followed by the brain. This kind of stupendous algorithm is actually present in the brain, then in principle this kind of an algorithm can very well be run on a computer/ or any other general pu...
