"Is AI really achieveable? When, if ever, will we have genuinely intelligent machines? And how far have we progressed so far? Is AI even desireable?"
The Turing Debate: Simon Singh chairs a debate on the future of computers. Will they ever be able to outthink us, and what would this mean for the human race?
Contributors to the debate are: Dr David Stork - a consulting professor at Stanford University, Dr Kerstin Dautenhahn - a lecturer in computer science at the Univeristy of Hertfordshire, Professor Bill Phillips - a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Stirling, and Dr Mark Bishop - lecturer in cybernetics at the University of Reading.
