There's much uncertainty about the future of artificial intelligence. With technology such as AI only continuing to impress us, there seems to be massive potential for the capabilities of AI.

This argument focuses on the philosophical discussion of syntactics versus semantics, and how it applies to consciousness, cognition, and intentionality.
