Intellegentia artificialis,[1] vel intellegentia ficticia,[2] est subdisciplinainformatica quae machinisintellegentibus creandis studet. Disciplina intellegentiae artificialis enchiridiis hoc modo describitur: "studium et formatio actorum intellegentium",[3] ubi "actor intellegens" est systema quod confinia sua sentit et ita agit, ut successus habeat quam maximos.[4]
Ioannes McCarthy, qui anno1956artificial intelligenceterminum technicum composuisse videtur, intellegentiam artificiosam describit scientiam et artem esse machinas intellegentes faciendi.[5] Quae schola investigat notam potissimam hominum, intellegentiam (sapientiam Hominis sapientis) tam exacte describere, ut machina simulari possit.[6] Quod studium quaestiones philosophicas de naturamentis et de finibus gloriae scientiae offert: quaestiones quae mythis, fabulis, et philosophia ab ultima antiquitate examinatae sunt.[7] Intellegentia artificiosa initio spem animum incitantem iniecit, deinde regressus accepit,[8] et nunc est pergravis industriae technologicae pars, quae multis in quaestionibus difficillimis informaticae solvendis adiuvit.[9]
Intellegentia artificiosa in investigatione tam technica et speciali consistit, ut aliqui existimatores eam obtrectent, quod campus centifidus sit.[10] Subcampi A.I. quaedam problemata, usus quorundam instrumentorum et diuturnas opinionum contentiones complectuntur. Gravissima intellegentiae artificialis problemata pertinent ad ratiocinationem, cognitionem, praedispositionem, eruditionem, communicationem, sensus nec non rerum movendarum tractandarumque facultates.[11] Alii intellegentiam generalem (sive A.I. fortem, Anglice: "strong A.I.") consectantur,[12] alii non iam credunt fortem A.I. impetrari posse.

↑Quod est prima notio libri Machines That Think, quo Pamela McCorduck scribit: "I like to think of artificial intelligence as the scientific apotheosis of a venerable cultural tradition" (2004: 34). Praeterea, "Artificial intelligence in one form or another is an idea that has pervaded Western intellectual history, a dream in urgent need of being realized" (2004: xviii): "Our history is full of attempts—nutty, eerie, comical, earnest, legendary and real—to make artificial intelligences, to reproduce what is the essential us—bypassing the ordinary means. Back and forth between myth and reality, our imaginations supplying what our workshops couldn't, we have engaged for a long time in this odd form of self-reproduction" (2004: 3). She traces the desire back to its Hellenistic roots and calls it the urge to "forge the Gods." (2004: 340-400).
