Ep. 163 - What Would an Artificial Thinker Be Like? w/Dr. Eric Olson

Can robots think? Is artificial intelligence possible? Dr. Eric Olson argues that AI theorists focus all of their attention on artificial thought and not enough on what an artificial thinker would be like. In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, we cover Dr. Olson's chapter "The Metaphysics of Artificial Intelligence" in Consciousness and the Ontology of Properties. Dr. Olson brings out some of the problems which arise when trying to nail down just what exactly an artificial thinker would be.
