DESCRIPTION:I will survey a debate in the artifici
 al intelligence (AI) research community on the ext
 ent to which current AI systems can be said to "un
 derstand" language and the physical and social sit
 uations language encodes. I will describe argument
 s that have been made for and against such underst
 anding, hypothesize about what humanlike understan
 ding entails, and discuss what methods can be used
  to fairly evaluate understanding and intelligence
  in AI systems.
