    According to Turing, If a interrogator were to ask identical questions to a human and a "computer" without knowing which one provided which answer and cannot distinguish by the answers which is is the human's and which is the computers, that computer or software qualifies as AI. Can we assume that the human would think rationally? If so, I can't see why IF statements cant be structured (with the right variables or environmental variables) as qualified AI.

    I think and many scientits too that Turing description of AI is not very good for practical use.

      If "von Neumann Computer" will be used to emulate work with NON exact inforamtion then all is ok. Really, our brain do the same.

      That is a dispute between mathematics or computer scientists since many years. No one has found a solution yet, so can easily say that's the same, but nobody can proof it. Write a strong KI, then we will see. Regards, Ingo

        No, it just means that the programmer doesn't have the intelligence to understand how to use OOP to eliminate all if statements. Marc

                  As I said the Turing test has no context, and hence is very limited and is no longer considered to be an accurate test of AI. For example in CL (Computational Linguistics) you will come across lots of examples of this, my favourite is the one that comes with Emacs, they essentially switch parts of sentences around, to give the impression of the intelligence. me: I feel depressed about the war zippy psychoanalyst : Why do you feel depressed about the war So for about five seconds the psychoanalyst will fool you, but if you asked the psychoanalyst falls down on statements like me : I worry people will get hurt in country X The psychoanalyst has no clue what you are talking about because its ignorant of context, i.e. the people of country X. You are correct though to certain extent, intelligence is now seen to be an emergent property of derived from several combined simpler behaviors with context. "Steele's Mars Explorer" experiment is a good example of generating complex behavior through a series of nested "if" statements, its employed in a Multi-agent System Architecture called the "Reactive Architecture", its now also debunked because the once you hit a threshold number of if statements it becomes very unwieldy and impractical. It has been superseded by the "Hybrid Architecture".

                              You sound like a guy I work with, whom we call Mister Object. There isn't a single function in his code longer than about 5-8 lines. Everything's broken up, and the class structure tends to be fairly deep. It makes his stuff difficult to follow.

                                Question - Does an IF statement constitute artificial intelligence? This is due to be heavily debated at my university, thought some external views would be nice.

                                  Such high levels of abstraction are known to slow down code execution. Breaking up code is good practice if you dont get obsessed with doing it.

                                      As I said the Turing test has no context, and hence is very limited and is no longer considered to be an accurate test of AI. For example in CL (Computational Linguistics) you will come across lots of examples of this, my favourite is the one that comes with Emacs, they essentially switch parts of sentences around, to give the impression of the intelligence. me: I feel depressed about the war zippy psychoanalyst : Why do you feel depressed about the war So for about five seconds the psychoanalyst will fool you, but if you asked the psychoanalyst falls down on statements like me : I worry people will get hurt in country X The psychoanalyst has no clue what you are talking about because its ignorant of context, i.e. the people of country X. You are correct though to certain extent, intelligence is now seen to be an emergent property of derived from several combined simpler behaviors with context. "Steele's Mars Explorer" experiment is a good example of generating complex behavior through a series of nested "if" statements, its employed in a Multi-agent System Architecture called the "Reactive Architecture", its now also debunked because the once you hit a threshold number of if statements it becomes very unwieldy and impractical. It has been superseded by the "Hybrid Architecture".
