1. WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE?
Unit 1| Days 17-19

2. Standard 1: Interacting with Computers
Objective 1: Students will explain the idea of intelligence especially as it relates to computers.
Objective 2: Students will explain what it means for a computer to “learn.”
Objective 3: Students will discuss whether computers are intelligent or whether they only behave intelligently.

3. Standard 5: Societal Impacts of Computing
Objective 1: Students will be able to identify ethical behavior and articulate both sides of ethical topics.
Explain positive and negative effects of technological innovations on human culture.
Objective 3: Students are introduced to the concept of open- source software development and explore its implications.
Describe ways in which computing enables innovation.

Are computers intelligent?
Why or why not?

5. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been researched for decades, and has resulted in many useful products, but still no system that is as intelligent as a human.
This activity explores just how we might recognize whether a system is truly “intelligent”. It involves reasoning about what it means to be intelligent, and even what makes us human.

6. The Turing Test
A program passes The Turing Test if a person can have a conversation with both a computer and a person and not be able to tell which one is the computer
Alan Turing: a British pioneering computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, theoretical biologist, and marathon and ultra distance runner. He was highly influential in the development of computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.[2][3][4] Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence (Wikipedia.com)
“The Imitation Game” movie
An English mathematician, logician and cryptographer, Alan Turing was responsible for breaking the Nazi Enigma code during World War II. His work gave the Allies the edge they needed to win the war in Europe, and led to the creation of the computer.

17. Intelligence Activity 2
Play Game
Pick an item and see how many questions are required
Repeat this and see if you can make it require more questions
Repeat this with another game
How intelligent is this? Would this pass the Turing Test?

19. Reflect – Journal Entries
What is the distinction between a computer’s ability to perform some operations quickly and what it means to “know?”
What is context-dependant?

20. Reflect – Journal Entries
The Turing test is a person checking to see if it is talking to a computer. Can you think of any occasions that a computer might want to know if it is talking to another computer or a real life person?
