A Note on Epistemology and Logical Artificial Intelligence

نویسنده

  • Gregory R. Wheeler
چکیده

Contemporary analytical epistemology and logical artificial intelligence are complementary disciplines. This is most apparent when considering the structure of what we call epistemic relations, among which inferential are of special concern. In this essay we discuss key correspondence results between semantics for logic programs and default logic. Our aim is to show that there now exist sufficient theoretical foundations within logical artificial intelligence to warrant use of non-monotonic logics as analytical tools within the theory of knowledge.

Epistemology and artificial intelligence

In this essay we advance the view that analytical epistemology and artificial intelligence are complementary disciplines. Both fields study epistemic relations, but whereas artificial intelligence approaches this subject from the perspective of understanding formal and computational properties of frameworks purporting to model some epistemic relation or other, traditional epistemology approache...

Artificial intelligence and scholastic epistemology

The advance of computer technology that has greatly exceeded human computational capabilities makes the question of the artificial intelligence (AI) quite natural. If the rate of the progress is maintained, one might anticipate the existence of algorithms mimicking human thinking. Thinking, however, involves not only purely logical operations (enjoying high level of perfection today) but combin...

Elementary epistemological features of machine intelligence

Theoretical analysis of machine intelligence (MI) is useful for defining a common platform in both theoretical and applied artificial intelligence (AI). The goal of this paper is to set canonical definitions that can assist pragmatic research in both strong and weak AI. Described epistemological features of machine intelligence include relationship between intelligent behavior, intelligent and ...
