A Normative Approach to Artificial Moral Agency
Minds and Machines - - 2020
This paper proposes a methodological redirection of the philosophical debate on artificial moral agency (AMA) in view of increasingly pressing practical needs due to technological development. This “normative approach” suggests abandoning theoretical discussions about what conditions may hold for moral agency and to what extent these may be met by artificial entities such as AI systems and robots.......
Problem representation for refinement
Minds and Machines - Tập 2 - Trang 267-282 - 1992
In this paper we attempt to develop a problem representation technique which enables the decomposition of a problem into subproblems such that their solution in sequence constitutes a strategy for solving the problem. An important issue here is that the subproblems generated should be easier than the main problem. We propose to represent a set of problem states by a statement which is true for all......
Computation as an intrinsic property
Minds and Machines - Tập 4 - Trang 451-467 - 1994
In an effort to uncover fundamental differences between computers and brains, this paper identifies computation with a particular kind of physical process, in contrast to interpreting the behaviors of physical systems as one or more abstract computations. That is, whether or not a system is computing depends on how those aspects of the system we consider to be informational physically cause change......
Representational trajectories in connectionist learning
Minds and Machines - Tập 4 - Trang 317-332 - 1994
The paper considers the problems involved in getting neural networks to learn about highly structured task domains. A central problem concerns the tendency of networks to learn only a set of shallow (non-generalizable) representations for the task, i.e., to ‘miss’ the deep organizing features of the domain. Various solutions are examined, including task specific network configuration and increment......
Holism, Conceptual-Role Semantics, and Syntactic Semantics
Minds and Machines - Tập 12 - Trang 3-59 - 2002
This essay continues my investigation of `syntactic semantics': the theory that, pace Searle's Chinese-Room Argument, syntax does suffice for semantics (in particular, for the semantics needed for a computational cognitive theory of natural-language understanding). Here, I argue that syntactic semantics (which is internal and first-person) is what has been called a conceptual-role semantics: The m......
It’s Friendship, Jim, but Not as We Know It: A Degrees-of-Friendship View of Human–Robot Friendships
Minds and Machines - Tập 31 - Trang 377-393 - 2021
This article argues in defence of human–robot friendship. I begin by outlining the standard Aristotelian view of friendship, according to which there are certain necessary conditions which x must meet in order to ‘be a friend’. I explain how the current literature typically uses this Aristotelian view to object to human–robot friendships on theoretical and ethical grounds. Theoretically, a robot c......
The End of Vagueness: Technological Epistemicism, Surveillance Capitalism, and Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Minds and Machines - Tập 32 - Trang 585-611 - 2022
Artificial Intelligence (AI) pervades humanity in 2022, and it is notoriously difficult to understand how certain aspects of it work. There is a movement—Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)—to develop new methods for explaining the behaviours of AI systems. We aim to highlight one important philosophical significance of XAI—it has a role to play in the elimination of vagueness. To show this,......
The Dynamical Hypothesis in Cognitive Science: A Review Essay of Mind As Motion
Minds and Machines - Tập 11 - Trang 101-111 - 2001
A Note on the Equivalence of Coherence and Constrained Coherence
Minds and Machines - Tập 26 - Trang 303-305 - 2015
Constrained coherence is compared to coherence and its role in the behavioural interpretation of coherence is discussed. The equivalence of these two notions is proven for coherent conditional previsions, showing that the same course of reasoning applies to several similar concepts developed in the realm of imprecise probability theory
