GONZALEZ, Rodrigo. MÁQUINAS SIN ENGRANAJES Y CUERPOS SIN MENTES: ¿CUÁN DUALISTA ES EL FUNCIONALISMO DE MÁQUINA DE TURING?. Rev. filos. [online]. 2011, vol.67, pp. 183-200. ISSN 0718-4360.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-43602011000100012.

This article deals with how Turing Machine Functionalism turns out to be compatible with a form of Dualism, which involves that strong AI is not close to the original Materialism that inspired it in the nineteenth century. To support this thesis, I argue that there is a compelling coincidence between Descartes 'philosophy and this version of Functionalism, since the former holds that it is conceivable/possible to separate mind and body, while the latter holds that it is not strictly necessary that mental states are realized by the physical properties of real cogs and machines.
