O menosprezado debate sobre o artificial em IA
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: This paper aims to explore the debate concerning the role of artificiality in the study of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In order to do so, I will first show two different meanings of the term “artificial” and how both do not fit equally well when referring to Intelligence. Secondly, a distinction will be made concerning AI and its contextualized current uses. Once these semantic boundaries have been established, the role and meaning of “artificiality” in AI will be finally analyzed, having as our main reference Turing’s idea of an Imitation Game, the work of Charles Babbage and the forgotten economic category of professionals called “human computer”, fundamental to the development of computation before the invention of modern computers.
