do you have some pointers/ more info on his views or pronouncements towards Artificial Intelligence (whatever that may mean)?

i'm curious as to where he stands on the whole chinese room stuff, as well as some of the other issues -- like the turing test, and computational aspects of the brain (i.e. is mind a turing machine etc...). or maybe he doesn't even address these issues.
