Artificial intelligence
Remarkable progress in the development of high-speed
electronic computers has led many philosophers to
conclude that a suitably programmed computer with
a sufficient memory capacity would have an actual mind
capable of intelligent thought. The term artificial
intelligence denotes the area of investigation that aims
to develop computers with such capabilities.
Two questions are intensely debated in this field.
First, what are the theoretical limits to what can be
achieved in the way of artificial intelligence? Despite
phenomenal progress in recent years, no computer
yet devised even approximates in its capacity the
multiplicitous powers of the human mind. However, it
would be most unwise at present to make dogmatic
predictions about future developments. Second, assuming
that the optimistic hopes of artificial intelligence
researchers are realized, would such devices literally
have minds or would they be mere imitations of minds? It
is already common linguistic practice to describe
computers as having memories, making inferences,
understanding one language or another, and the like, but
are such descriptions literally true or simply
metaphorical? One group holds that computers will never
be more than tools employed by the human intelligence to
aid its own thinking. Another group holds that human
intelligence itself consists of the very computational
processes that could be exemplified by advanced
machines, so that it would be unreasonable to deny the
attribution of intelligence to such machines. The issue
may remain unresolved until researchers in artificial
intelligence have had more time to determine the limits
of computer capabilities.
