The philosophy of artificial intelligence – basic concepts and problems

Abstract

The philosophy of artificial intelligence is currently one of the leading fields in philo­sophy due to the dynamic development of AI systems. Since around 2018, AI has been evolving in a direction that prompts consideration of whether large language models have already become akin to humans in terms of understanding reality or even possessing consciousness and the ability to feel. This discussion is based on implicite accepted assumptions regarding the emergence of the mind through emergentism. However, there are no scientific tools to assess whether a mind can emerge from matter, just as there are no tools to confirm the existence of the human soul. In both cases, it comes down to faith. The existence of an emergent mind is as probable as the existence of a soul created by God, with one difference: the existence of a soul offers hope for salvation.

Keywords:

AI, awareness, assumptions, naturalism, soul, emergentism, transcendence
