Artificial Intelligence and the human mind - Basic problems of psychologically oriented AI-research

MANHART, K.

Some computer scientists and psychologists believe that the old puzzles concerning the human mind could be solved with Artificial Intelligence (AI). For most of them, the reason is that computers as symbolprocessing machines have impressive common grounds with the human mind and the same theoretical structures are realised in both systems. Against this background, philosophers evoke the real existing thinking machine and psychologists believe to discover insights into the human mind with the help of AI. Thus, problems of both disciplines are linked close together. The intent of this paper is to summarize the most important problems of modern cognitive AI in the context of philosophy and psychology.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, AI, thinking machines
