# Philosophy Of Ai

## PHIL-4260

This course may be roughly divided into two general areas: philosophical problems in AI and philosophical issues that arise because of AI. An example from the first area is the Knower Paradox, a paradox in which an apparently desirable formalism for handling an agent's knowledge leads to inconsistency; an example from the second area is John Searle's attack on so-called "Strong" AI by way of their Chinese Room argument, wherein they claim that because a computer at bottom just manipulates symbols it cannot genuinely understand.
