Hypercomputation in the Chinese Room

B. Jack CopelandContact Information

(4)  Philosophy Department, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
Abstract
I rehearse a number of objections to John Searle’s famous Chinese room argument. One is the ’hypercomputational objection’ (Copeland 2002a). Hypercomputation is the computation of functions that cannot be computed in the sense of (Turing (1936)); the term originates in (Copeland and Proudfoot (1999)). I defend my hypercomputa tional objection to the Chinese room argument from a response recently developed by (Bringsjord, Bello and Ferrucci (2001)).
Good Old Fashioned AI: John Haugeland,s excellent term for traditional symbolprocessing AI (Haugeland 1985).
