- Contents
- Focussing on foundational texts and classical arguments from philosophy, cognitive science and computer science, the course offers an introduction to foundational philosophical issues of artificial intelligence. It will cover questions such as:
What is intelligence and how do we know a machine is intelligent? How is the intelligence of artificial systems different from ours? Is the right kind of computational structure sufficient for the possession of a mind? Is the human mind a kind of computer? Could a sophisticated robot think, feel, or be consciously aware? Will there ever be superintelligent machines?
The course also introduces philosophy as a practical activity by developing student skills in reading, analysis, reasoning, and argumentation, and fostering appreciation for opposing points of view and of those who hold them.
