Title: On Computational Wings: Rethinking the Goals of Artificial Intelligence.
Authors: Ford, Kenneth M., Hayes, Patrick J.
Source: Scientific American Presents. 1998, p78-83. 6p. 6 Color Photographs.
Subjects: Artificial intelligence, Neurosciences, Logic machines, Cognitive science, Computers, Mathematical logic
Abstract: This article reports that the greatest value of artificial intelligence may lie not in imitating human thinking but in extending it into new realms. Many philosophers and humanist thinkers are convinced that the quest for artificial intelligence has turned out to be a failure. Eminent critics have argued that a truly intelligent machine cannot be constructed and have even offered mathematical proofs of its impossibility. And yet the field of artificial intelligence is flourishing. Smart machinery is part of the information-processing fabric of society, and thinking of the brain as a biological computer has become the standard view in much of psychology and neuroscience.
