In some of them he addresses the mathematical objection (his term) whose gist is the claim that humans can assert some mathematical truths that exceed the abilities of computing machines. We first ask why Turing took so seriously the mathematical objection. After all, even if some humans surpass machines in their mathematical abilities, this by itself does not undermine the project of machine intelligence. Our answer is that the mathematical objection raises a dilemma with respect to Turing’s core claims about machine intelligence and forces him to relinquish at least one of them. We then clarify and discuss Turing’s reply to the mathematical objection, namely, that the machine that plays against the human in the Turing test is not a static machine but an enhanced machine.</span></div><div style="line-height:1.5;margin:0px 0px 16px;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;line-height:24px">(Joint work with Ben Gershon)</span></div><div style="line-height:1.5;margin:0px 0px 16px;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;line-height:24px"><br></span></div><div style="direction:ltr;line-height:1.8;margin:0px;padding-bottom:10px;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt"><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"><b><font color="#000000">Amanda Evans</font></b></span></div><div style="direction:ltr;line-height:1.8;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt">Friday, October 17 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm</span></div><div style="direction:ltr;line-height:1.2;margin:0px 0px 0.75em;letter-spacing:0.4pt;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;line-height:24px">This talk will be available online: Zoom: </span><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;color:rgb(20,24,39);line-height:24px"><a href="https://pitt.zoom.us/j/95825689559" id="m_-3992071237381336370m_8043625414186330737m_4991242893238757810m_-3769998553794430510m_443181799261617143m_-9105184187003136896m_-5779911582897395582m_-62556001027519023m_-4530358838291214014m_-1189186268514487795gmail-LPlnk628857" title="https://pitt.zoom.us/j/95825689559" target="_blank">https://pitt.zoom.us/j/95825689559</a></span></div><div style="direction:ltr;line-height:1.2;margin:0px 0px 0.75em;letter-spacing:0.4pt;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;line-height:24px"><b>Title: </b></span><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;line-height:24px;font-weight:700">Psychiatric Deep Brain Stimulation and the Ethics of Mechanistic Recovery</span></div><div style="direction:ltr;line-height:1.2;margin:0px 0px 0.75em;letter-spacing:0.4pt;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;line-height:24px"><b>Abstract: </b></span></div><div style="direction:ltr;line-height:1.5;margin:0px 0px 16px;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="letter-spacing:0.4pt;line-height:24px">Direct brain interventions like deep brain stimulation (DBS) raise unique ethical questions when applied to psychiatric disorders. While frameworks like the ethical parity principle suggest that functionally equivalent processes are ethically on par, I argue this view is mistaken in the psychiatric context precisely because it overlooks a crucial distinction: that between agential recovery, guided by the patient’s reasons and values, and mechanistic recovery, which works via a process that bypasses those values. I analyze a spectrum of treatments, using DBS for Parkinson’s disease as a baseline for an agency-restoring intervention, to demonstrate how the ethical stakes shift from case to case. I argue that these stakes become highest in the decision to consent to treatments designed to compel behaviors that bypass the patient’s endorsed values, a choice at the heart of disorders of profound ambivalence such as anorexia nervosa. Ultimately, this presents a fundamental challenge to informed consent that can only be properly understood by foregrounding the ethical difference between agential and mechanistic recovery.</span></div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
