Artificial Humanity. An Essay on the Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence"If we describe human intelligence in terms of what AI is doing, then it is easy to conclude that machines are intelligent, that they learn, and that they might become conscious, just like humans. But that misses the point. Aristotle and Aquinas describe human intelligence within a systematic framework which has survived the test of time. Is it possible to reach into their anthropology, their ontology and their epistemology in order to shed light on the nature and meaning of AI? The [book is] an attempt to explain why [the author believes] the answer to this question is a resounding "Yes"."-- From the introduction, p.7. |
