This is a two-hour video (also MP3) on the Chinese Room argument featuring some leading voices in the field of AI and philosophy": J. Mark Bishop, Francois Chollet, David Chalmers, Joscha Bach, Karl Friston, Alexander Mattick, Sam Roffey. It's about whether an AI 'understands' what is being said or whether it's merely manipulating symbols (interestingly, we could ask exactly the same question about our students as well). The argument is introduced and the panelists offer basic comments, and then the discussion turns to related subjects such as consciousness, private language games, agency, Chomsky and syntax, and whether math represents. Via Reddit, where Tim Scarfe offers a brief overview and a well-infoirmed discussion follows in the comments.
