Introduction
This week we will explore the history of automata and machines imitating life.
Tests and Thought Experiments
This week we will start to define the boundaries of intelligence, understanding, and related ideas from both human and machine perspectives.
A Hard Problem
For the next two weeks, we will discuss how our understanding of cognition leads to differing definitions of problems.
Cognitive Problems in Computational Terms
We will continue discussing how our understanding of cognition leads to differing definitions of problems.

Principais avaliações do WHAT IS “THE MIND” AND WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
Very interesting course with a basic level. Topics are addressed in a very general way. Topics are of philosophical importance and motivates you to think more about them.
This was a lot of fun and just the right amount of challenging at the end!
This course has been extremely enlightening. Big thanks to Coursera and the University of Colorado, Boulder!
Please make the programme more student-friendly, because so many hasn't sufficient mathematical-logical intelligence.
Sobre Programa de cursos integrados Mind and Machine
This specialization examines the ways in which our current understanding of human thinking is both illuminated and challenged by the evolving techniques and ideas of artificial intelligence and computer science. Our collective understanding of “minds” – both biological and computational – has been revolutionized over the past half-century by themes originating in fields like cognitive psychology, machine learning, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and game theory, among others. This specialization focuses on both the larger “historical” arc of these changes as well as current research directions and controversies.
