Two Types of AI (cont’d)
•Philosophical AI or Computationalism
Computationalism or philosophical AI, a.k.a Strong AI, is the view that all
human mental activities are reducible to algorithms and
data structures, and could therefore be implemented on a computer. Computationalism is an essential principle of
materialism, which states that there is no need to assume any spiritual or non-algorithmic aspect to existence.
