Emulare per fingere: il test di Turing e le (in)comprensioni conversazionali tra umano e agente artificiale

This research examines discursive repertoires on the Turing test as a theoretical construct, as a validation test, and as an argument that divides exponents of strong A.I. from exponents of weak A.I. In the conversation between human and artificial agent, does the latter develop a capacity for semantic understanding? Is it able to boycott its programming and adapt to the unpredictable changes of the human interlocutor? Starting from these questions, the topics that polarise the debate will be highlighted.
