Chinese Room, Chinese Robot and ‘System Response’: Perspectives of a Strong Artificial Intellect Abstract: The author of this article describes and analyzes the two basic strategies of objection to a well-known thought experiment called Chinese Room argument: so called robot and system objections. The analysis allows to assess the validity of critics of the argument’s opposition as well as provisions defended in the framework of so called Chinese Room. In conclusion, the author conducts a thought experiment modifying the initial argument in order to prove that a number of such conclusions are wrong. Keywords: philosophy, Chinese Room argument, artificial intellect, consciousness, functionalism, thinking, algorithm, connectionism, Turing test, program.
