INTRODUCTION
Chinese room argument is considered to holds the executing a program unable to show
understanding, mind and consciousness. Searle's was introduced a Chinese Room argument
within the year 1980. In his most recent presentation, he identified strong Artificial intelligence
that can holds various mental phenomenon such as desires, beliefs as well as perceptions through
explaining their various characteristics within relation to the outside world and between each
other. Present report focuses on the various aspects of the Chinese room arguments in detailed
version. Also, Chinese room argument is known as the primary argument regarding the
philosophy of mind as well as major artificial intelligence researchers and computer scientists
that are not specific to their field (Bringsjord, 2015).

Can computers think ad possess intentionality
By working with Artificial intelligence has produced various computer programs that
able to beat the players human players. Artificial intelligence also produced various programs
that can converse within natural language such as Apple's Siri. The question arises is that the
does computer able to understand as well as intelligent, with the further development result
within digital computers that able to matched fully or more than the Human intelligence? One of
the Pioneer theoretician regarding computing, Alan Turing (1950), believed that answer to above
question was ''yes''. He purposed the test called ''The Turing test '' According to this test of the
computer able to pass regarding Human within the chat called online chat, they consider it is
intelligent. Within the late 1970s Some researchers of the AI claimed that the Computers are
already understood at some kind of natural language. But within the year 1980 a philosopher of
Berkeley, John Searle present an argument that is short as well as widely discussed argument that
focuses that is impractical for the digital computer to comprehend language or think. As per the
Searle argues that is a good way to test the theory of mind (ZHANG. and ZHAO, 2017).
Artificial intelligence taking the roots within the everyday lives of the people. As AI is not a new
concept as human are just few years way from having the robots that impact within their day to
day lives. Such as email spam filtering, weather forecasts, voice recognition and many more. AI
has the ability to consistently learn from the information it collects. More information is
collected as well as evaluate by the crafted algorithms and the machines becomes better to
