...[Most of the articles for the group labeled, “Foundations,”] state or beg the question, “Can machines think?” Another way of asking this question is, “Is cognition distinctly a human phenomenon?” Turing may have been one of the first to promote intelligent capabilities in machines. As technology increases, it seems that Turing may have been right. Today, it is unclear that intelligence and cognition are strictly human. Some of the most heated arguments against science, particularly psychology and biology, seem to center around a perceived threat against humanity. For example, evolution was and still is challenged, in large part, because to believe in evolution means accepting natural selection and similarity among evolved species. Evolution threatens the uniqueness and even the superiority of humankind, according to many opponents. Similarly, the possibility of language in primates is refuted by many, I believe, in large part because this cognitive ability has been believed to be reserved only for humans. John Searle seems to be making a similar argument against what he refers to as “strong” artificial intelligence.

Such a hypothesis seems to challenge the...

Aku hanya bisa mendengar suara derap kakinya yang diciptakan oleh hentakan alas sepatunya dan lantai keramik. Aku selalu mengingat kertas ulanganku itu. Beberapa kesalahan yang seharusnya tidak kuperbuat. Nilaiku D. Sangat buruk. Selama hidupku, aku belum pernah mendapat nilai seburuk itu untuk pelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Sandy bilang, pasti telah terjadi kesalahan pada penilaiannya. Dan dia berniat untuk mengatakan ini pada guru kami. Mungkinkah? Aku memutuskan untuk masuk ke ruang kelas. Ini sudah jam pulang jadi tidak ada seorang pun di sini. Deretan meja dan kursi kayu terlihat agak berantakan. Papan tulis di depan penuh dengan goresan kapur putih dan angka-angka yang hanya dengan melihatnya akan membuat mata sakit dan kepala pusing. Aku duduk disalah satu kursi. Menunggu. Menunggu. Lama sekali… Kepalaku terasa berat begitu pula dengan mataku. Kemudian detik berikutnya, aku ingat bahwa aku jatuh tertidur. Mataku terbuka beberapa menit kemudian. Sekelilingku masih sama sepinya seperti tadi. Sandy belum kembali. Kemana dia? Apa guru memarahinya dan melakukan sesuatu yang buruk padanya? Huh, itu tidak mungkin...
