Can AI truly think and understand? Or is it just i Can AI truly think and understand? Or is it just imitating? 🤖 More than 60 years ago, Alan Turing’s answer was the following: if a machine can convince a human it is human, we might call it intelligent. 🤔 Today, Manuel Alfonseca, Emeritus Professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid, is revisiting this answer with a critical mindset. Basing his position off the famous Turing Test, he addresses a deeper issue: is imitation the same as understanding? Are we measuring intelligence — or just how easily humans can be fooled? 😅 Read the full article on the “news” section of our website #euconexus #europeanuniversities #smucsweeklybite #sustainability #artificial_intelligence
