from Part II - Complementary Topics and Discussions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 October 2021
Chapter 5 presents the subject matter of artificial intelligence, focusing on machine learning, where these machines are artificial agents. It presents simple examples of unsupervised learning, supervised learning, and reinforcement learning, and introduces notions of dynamic programming, Q-learning, and stochastic control. After that, it explores some links that can be established between artificial intelligence and the philosophy of mind, presenting and discussing the Turing test, the philosophical approaches of eliminativism and functionalism, and the problem of tacit knowledge.
