Parsing the Turing Test Summary

Parsing the Turing Test: Philosophical and Methodological Issues in the Quest for the Thinking Computer by Robert Epstein

An exhaustive work that represents a landmark exploration of both the philosophical and methodological issues surrounding the search for true artificial intelligence. Distinguished psychologists, computer scientists, philosophers, and programmers from around the world debate weighty issues such as whether a self-conscious computer would create an internet 'world mind'. This hugely important volume explores nothing less than the future of the human race itself.
