Wittgenstein and Artificial Intelligence, Volume I
«
Wittgenstein and AI makes for fascinating reading as it engages Wittgenstein’s enactivist philosophy to explore the conceptual and real possibilities of “thinking machines”. Wittgenstein proves an indispensable partner in our attempts to understand and develop the future interaction between humans and machines, their moral status and possible clashes with our human form of life.’ — Danièle Moyal-Sharrock, Professor of Philosophy, University of Hertfordshire; President of the British Wittgenstein Society

The two volumes on Wittgenstein and AI aim to trace and suggest Wittgensteinian influences in some of the most cutting-edge areas of research in Artificial Intelligence (such as Computation, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and the use of automation in legal settings). The collection is driven by an essentially interdisciplinary approach, featuring articles from philosophers, computer scientists and legal scholars, writing on a broad range of topics in AI.

The collection is driven by an essentially interdisciplinary approach, featuring articles from philosophers, computer scientists and legal scholars, writing on a broad range of topics in AI.
The chapters across these two volumes are grouped into two sets of themes: Mind and Language and Value and Governance. These themes correspond to two major areas of research in the philosophical study of AI: the computational mind and the ethics of artificial intelligence. These volumes make a significant and unprecedented contribution to the question of what Wittgenstein’s philosophy can offer to the ever-growing field of AI. It aims to provide insight for both philosophers and non-philosophers alike, offering reflection on the significance of Wittgenstein’s work for AI, and on the implications of advancements in AI technology for Wittgenstein’s philosophy and philosophy influenced by Wittgenstein.
VOLUME I: Wittgenstein and AI (Volume I): Mind and Language. This volume includes chapters on Wittgenstein and Turing’s views on AI, the question of whether machines can think, intentionality, AI language models, analogical reasoning and logic.

‘The exotic mind-like entities now emerging from artificial intelligence bend the conventional categories of analytical philosophy into new shapes, and sometimes threaten to fracture them altogether. Wittgenstein’s critical work is essential for navigating this unfamiliar conceptual territory.’ — Murray Shanahan, Professor of Cognitive Robotics, Department of Computing, Imperial College London, and Principal Research Scientist at Google DeepMind

‘The essays collected in these two volumes amount to the most sustained and up-todate discussion of AI from the standpoint of Wittgenstein’s philosophy. With contributors raising searching questions on a wide range of topics, these volumes will greatly enrich our philosophical understanding of AI and its implications.’ — Mathieu Marion, Professor of Philosophy, Université du Québec à Montréal
