Description

Have the classical methods and ideas of AI outlived their usefulness?

Foundations of Artificial Intelligence critically evaluates the fundamental assumptions underpinning the dominant approaches to AI.

In the 11 contributions, theorists historically associated with each position identify the basic tenets of their position.

They discuss the underlying principles, describe the natural types of problems and tasks in which their approach succeeds, explain where its power comes from, and what its scope and limits are.

Theorists generally skeptical of these positions evaluate the effectiveness of the method or approach and explain why it works - to the extent they believe it does - and why it eventually fails.David Kirsh is Assistant Professor in the Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego.Contents: Foundations of AI: The Big Issues, D.
