e to read almost every coded message the Germans sent during the war, giving the Allies an enormous advantage. The D-Day invasion involved convincing Hitler that the Allies had a huge army of nearly 400,000 men, massed around Dover preparing an attack on Calais head on, with a second army in Scotland pois

’s Chinese Room, this is the same process the man in the room followed: get a symbol, look it up in a book, and reply with the corresponding symbol. Universal Turing Machine We have missed one important step from our explanation of the modern computer: the ability to run programs. Nowadays, we take for granted you can do

or evil but morally neutral. It’s simply an ability to accomplish complex goals, good or bad. We can’t conclude that things would have been better if Hitler had been more intelligent. Indeed, postponing work on ethical issues until after goal-aligned AGI is built would be irresponsible and potentially dis

ifferent machine was required for each separate computational problem; later work by others would show that in one particular machine, now known as a Universal Turing Machine, an arbitrary set of computing instructions could be encoded on that same tape.
