The Philosophy of AI and the AI of Philosophy

The philosophy of X, where X is a science, involves philosophers analyzing the concepts of X and sometimes commenting on what concepts are or are not likely to be coherent. Artificial intelligence (AI) has closer scientific connections with philosophy than do other sciences, because AI shares many concepts with philosophy, e.g. This article treats the philosophy of AI but also analyzes some concepts common to philosophy and AI from the standpoint of AI. The philosophy of X often involves advice to practitioners of X about what they can and cannot do. We partly reverse the usual course and offer advice to philosophers, especially philosophers of mind.
