Can computers think or are they just unintelligent mechanisms that do whatever we tell them to? British mathematician Alan Turing, writing in the 1950s, proposed a game, or test, that he claimed would determine whether or not a computer could be considered intelligent. We discuss the Imitation Game and the many objections against it.

In this episode, we discuss Game Theory. Game Theory is a mathematical way of studying how self-interested, rational agents make decisions. In philosophy, Game Theory has been used to solve an old problem: is it ever in our best interests to act immorally or unjustly?
