1. Speed of Computation and Simulation by S.C. Kak

ftp://gate.ee.lsu.edu/pub/kak/spee.ps.Z

Abstract: This paper reviews several issues related to information,
speed of computation, and simulation of a physical process. It is
argued that mental processes proceed at a rate close to the optimal
based on thermodynamic considerations. Problems related to the
simulation of a quantum mechanical system on a computer are reviewed.
Parallels are drawn between biological and adaptive quantum systems.

2. Can we define levels of artificial intelligence? by S.C. Kak

Abstract: This paper argues for a graded approach to the study of
machine intelligence. In contrast to the Turing Test approach, such
an approach has the potential of defining incremental progress in
machine intelligence research.
