Digital Brain Computer ~ Philosophy of the Mind by John R. Searle

The digital brain computer can be understood within Searle’s critique of strong artificial intelligence (AI). Searle argues that simulating the functioning of a brain through a digital computer is not sufficient to replicate genuine human intelligence or consciousness. He asserts that computational processes alone, regardless of their complexity, cannot generate true understanding or subjective experience. Searle emphasizes the importance of the biological nature of the brain and its unique causal powers in producing consciousness. He challenges the idea that a digital brain computer can possess consciousness equivalent to that of a human being, highlighting the limitations of purely computational approaches in understanding the complexities of the mind.
