DeepDyve eBooks - A Different Look at Artificial Intelligence

Introduction

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 1 –4

[The importance of computer science and artificial intelligence is explained in this introductory chapter. It is argued that related topics should not only be discussed from the perspective of the natural scientist or technician, but that philosophers, literary figures and artists should also be...

Artificial Intelligence

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 5 –21

[Unfortunately, a universal definition of artificial intelligence does not exist. We use an essay by computer pioneer Alan Turing to illuminate the term, and we describe various tests to evaluate artificial intelligence. Finally, we outline the state of the art of the research field.]

Mind and Body

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 23 –35

[The relationship between body and mind in AI and in scientific and philosophical studies is discussed. Mostly, historical circumstances and the resulting living conditions determine people’s attitudes towards this relationship. We touch upon the development of the ideas of the Baroque, the Age...

Time and Memory

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 37 –44

[When it comes to the representation of temporal processes, a differentiated approach to time is required in AI. Time and memory play a central role in our lives. How do we manage to behave adequately? When we remember, we refer back to the past and visualize it. We do a lot without thinking, and...

Representation of Knowledge

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 45 –62

[Knowledge representation is a task that has existed since language was written down. Various stages of scientific development lead to the fact that statements can be converted into numbers or formulas that can be read by machines. This allows artificial systems to be used to accomplish complex...

Mnemonics

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 63 –69

[Tricks for remembering things have been around since ancient times. The loci method is well known, i.e. learning contents are arranged in a certain structure, in a certain space (lat. Locus!), a certain path, a letter-number sequence. Forgetting content can also be done by detours. Since the...

The Art of Seeing

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 71 –87

[When we look at something, we see more than the information provided by our eyes. We – i.e. our brain – interpret this information and develop ideas that we associate with what we see, we are biased. Artists broaden or change our view by putting common ideas into a new context, often influenced...

Free Will

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 89 –99

[Free will of man is a prerequisite for planning, creativity and responsibility for his actions. Much is predetermined by the past, genetic imprinting and social milieu. The question arises whether humans nevertheless have free will or whether artificial systems can also be responsible. The...

Remembering: A Creative Act

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 101 –123

[Memories are the basis of creative design. Access to them and the possibility of modifying them is the theme and content of Proust’s and Nabokov’s literature, but also in AI. In humans, the process of remembering is carried out in the neural network of the brain. Learning and remembering, i.e....

Frame and Structure

Barthelmeß, Ulrike; Furbach, Ulrich

Pages: 125 –138

[Memorized contents are experienced emotionally differently. Why is it that something exhilarates us, frightens us, unsettles us? The factors that influence us obey the dictates of being alive and are regulated by conventions. In order to enable orientation between knowledge bases, AI uses...
