- Abstract:
-
Because of the employment of scientific paradigm (i.e., scientific outlook and methodology) in the field of materials science, the global research on artificial intelligence (AI) has been divided into three branches, namely, structuralism-based AI (e.g., artificial neural networks), functionalism-based AI (e.g., physical symbol systems and expert systems), and behaviorism-based AI (e.g., sensorimotor systems and intelligent robots), which are independent from each other and mutually unharmonious. A decent number of results from each of the three branches have been achieved; however, no progress has been made in the global theory of AI, let alone the universal theory of AI, and this has become the biggest pain point in the research and development of AI. Presently, the universal and global theories of AI have gradually become urgent social demands. Accordingly, the article titled “The theory of mechanistic general artificial intelligence” has been presented on the basis of the research experiences of the author during the past four decades; the work mainly focuses on “paradigm shift” and “information conversion.” The author hopes that the views and results presented in the article could draw discussions and criticisms from the readers of the AI academic circle.
