Artificial Intelligence: In Search of a Definition
摘要
In this chapter, I revisit some of the most influential definitions of AI from the last decades. No single definition of AI has been agreed upon so far and I do not aim to come up with a concluding definition. My aim is to better understand what AI entails, what it is supposed to be and do, by examining existing definitions. This enables a better understanding of the ethical aspects linked to AI in general and MAI in particular. I also shortly discuss why the term “artificial intelligence” is highly problematic.
