Provides a brief history of mathematical logic,and discusses the critical role of philosophy,psychology,and neuroscience in the history of AI
Presents a philosophical case for the use of fuzzy logic approaches in AI
Investigates the similarities and differences between the Word2vec word embedding algorithm,and the ideas of Wittgenstein and Firth on linguistics
Examines how developments in machine learning provide insights into the philosophical challenge of justifying inductive inferences
Debates,with reference to philosophical anthropology,whether an advanced general artificial intelligence might be considered as a living being
Investigates the issue of computational complexity through deep-learning strategies for understanding AI-complete problems and developing strong AI
Explores philosophical questions at the intersection of AI and transhumanism
