Introduction

This week we will explore the history of automata and machines imitating life.

Tests and Thought Experiments

This week we will start to define the boundaries of intelligence, understanding, and related ideas from both human and machine perspectives.

A Hard Problem

For the next two weeks, we will discuss how our understanding of cognition leads to differing definitions of problems.

Cognitive Problems in Computational Terms

We will continue discussing how our understanding of cognition leads to differing definitions of problems.
