The problems of the artificial intelligence and consciousness at the work of John Searle, «Consciousness and the brain science»

Abstract

«Chinese Room» is a logical experiment of John Searle. It is critique of machines based on the test of Alan Turing. The purpose of this test is to prove that computers based on formal systems may not have the consciousness or its components. According to John Searle, the creation of strong artificial intelligence is impossible without a thorough research the connection of the brain and the consciousness, consciousness and action. These ideas form the basis of his work «The consciousness and the brain science». But in this work, John Searle notes the unsolved problems – the existence of the antinomy of free will and determinism. «Chinese Room» Searle points also to absence at computers based on the formal system may be the primary cause of their actions, that is – the subject. Exploring consciousness or free action as an object, we do not know anything about the subject who owns them. Because the object obeys the causal relations in the world. But free will – a break of such causal relations, which makes it possible to generate a new chain of causal events in the world. This creates the need to change the paradigm of modern consciousness research and the free action.
