Description

The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence by Margaret A. Boden explores the fundamental questions surrounding artificial intelligence, including whether it is a contradiction in terms and whether computers can truly understand. This collection of readings provides a clear pathway into the disputed philosophical issues at the heart of AI. A range of perspectives is presented, from those who argue that digital computers cannot model human thought to those who believe that brain-like connectionist computers may offer a more profound understanding. The book includes an editor's introduction and an up-to-date reading list, making it an ideal resource for anyone looking to engage with the subject. By examining the philosophical underpinnings of artificial intelligence, Boden's work offers valuable insights into the nature of intelligence, knowledge, and reality.
