Gyula Rabai

Artificial Intelligence

In this presentation, Gyula Rabai explores how computers process the world through algorithms and duties rather than consequences. The discussion begins with a logical framework for applying computer science to various scenarios, using models like a programmed cat to illustrate machine behavior. It then delves into the question of machine sentience, drawing on concepts such as the Turing Test and emotional simulations to assess whether AI can truly feel or merely imitate. Finally, the talk addresses the broader implications for AI in ethics, including rights, safety, accountability, and the potential future of a computerized world.
