Turing’s functionalist approach triggered a series of “chatterbots,” or programs which were designed to interact with humans in a realistic way. - What have we done?!

The Singularity is Near: Will the Machines Wake Up?
Can we reverse-engineer the brain, or will machines be able to develop a strong consciousness that’s completely different? Alternatively, they could just remain “inert tools of creation”, but lets take a look at this.
Computational Creativity & Copyright: Artificially Intelligent Authorship
While researching AI and computational creativity for a paper I'm writing I realized the site for the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology Digest was down, so my paper "Artificial Intelligence and Authorship Rights" was inaccessible. I'm posting the penultimate draft here until such a time as they have it back up and want this…
Go Ask A.L.I.C.E. – Turing Tests, Parlor Games, and Chatterbots
Go Ask A.L.I.C.E. : The Inner Workings is amazing, one more open house and dramatic showing tomorrow (Thurs. Sept. 20) starting at 6:00pm in room 251 in the Harvard Science Center, and you should definitely go.
Artificial Intelligence and Authorship Rights
Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is, simply put, “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.” Quintessential examples of artificially intelligent machines include Hal from 2001 Space Odyssey or the robots from Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot series of short stories. Many of the things we think of when we think of true artificial intelligence — such as…
Creativity Machines
Many have speculated that some day machines will become intelligent enough to self-manage and self-improve. Well, it's happening. Perhaps it's time we thought about what we train these machines to be.
Recursive Evolution
The behavior of insects and other simple life forms are programmed from their genes, which learn and evolve over time. Humans and animals with more complex brains can individually learn from their experiences. So while weak AI machines are made to act human, strong AI machines are based on biological processes in order to gain…
A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has had a rocky history. In 1956 Herb Simon, one of the discipline’s four founders, claimed “Within 20 years, computers will be able to do anything a man can do.” Yet many of the things we think of when we think of true artificial intelligence – such as understanding nuanced language, solving novel…
