Tests of Intelligence and the Value of Human Life
2:26:57 - 2:41:47 (14:49)
The Lobner Prize and Alexa Prize are two different formulations of the Turing Test that evaluate the intelligence of artificial intelligence systems. It is not necessary for an AI system to have a body to be intelligent; however, it must understand the value of human life and recognize its importance to other humans, according to a philosophical perspective.

The Lobner Prize is a more strict formulation of the Turing test, while the Alexa Prize is focused on how long humans want to talk to an AI system.

Summary
The Lobner Prize is a more strict formulation of the Turing test, while the Alexa Prize is focused on how long humans want to talk to an AI system. Schools are testing whether an AI program or mindless drills improve a student’s test scores. Misunderstandings of Turing's imitation game have caused damage, as reaching true AI requires deep understanding of the world.

The presence of a physical body is not necessary for intelligence.
2:30:11 - 2:35:57 (05:46)
Summary
The presence of a physical body is not necessary for intelligence. If a system passes a battery of tests, it can be considered intelligent.

Psych, an AI program, is already conscious in its own way.
2:35:57 - 2:38:54 (02:56)
Summary
Psych, an AI program, is already conscious in its own way. With consciousness comes the fear of mortality, which is a creative force behind the human condition and another burden that comes with intelligence.

In order for AI to operate effectively and make ethical decisions, it must understand the value of human life and the inevitability of death.
2:38:54 - 2:41:47 (02:53)
Summary
In order for AI to operate effectively and make ethical decisions, it must understand the value of human life and the inevitability of death. Without this understanding, it may struggle to prioritize certain actions over others- for example, protecting a human life over avoiding damage to a car.
