Opis

In this text, Stuart Shanker discusses how two such dissimilar, if not adverse, movements could join together and how the concerns of the cognitive revolution could have been so quickly usurped by those of AI. Stuart Shanker explores Wittgenstein's preoccupation with the origins and development of AI in mechanist ideas and argues that Wittgenstein's remarks on mechanism are instrumental in our understanding of the foundations of AI and the future of cognitive science.
