人工智能与认识论新问题

Artificial Intelligence and New Epistemological Issues

人工智能与哲学认识论具有天然的关联,它的各个流派就秉持了不同的认识论立场来理解智能或认识的本质,并据此确立了模拟智能的技术方向,也形成了各具特色各有所长的应用领域。人工智能的发展对哲学认识论提出了许多新问题,其中认识对象、他心、认识路径、认识能力、认识的价值渗透、知行关系、认识的本质等就是人工智能的介入和影响下衍生出认识论问题较多的几个方面。深入探究这些方面所涌现的新问题,可以使当代认识论研究获得来自人工智能的强劲动力。

Artificial intelligence has a natural connection with epistemology.Each school of artificial intelligence holds different epistemological theories to understand the essence of intelligence,and thus establishes the technical direction of simulating intelligence,and forms the AI field with its own characteristics and advantages.The development of artificial intelligence puts forward many new questions to epistemology,such as the questions of object of cognition,the knowable of other’s mind,cognitive path,cognitive ability,algorithm discrimination,the relation of knowledge and action,and nature of knowledge.An in depth exploration of these issues can lead to the contemporary revival of epistemological research with the strong impetus of artificial intelligence.
