When artificial intelligence becomes everyday life, do you think philosophy is the only science of human beings? If you don't agree with this argument, what other sciences do you think can't be replaced?
Thank you very much.
Dear Prof. Yu-Da Lin:
Thank you so much for asking this most important question in the Science setting. In that respect, Russell and Norvig (2016: 29-30) define Artificial Intelligence (AI) and establish the cultural background against which it has developed. Some of the important points are as follows:
- Different people approach AI with different goals in mind. Two important questions to ask are: Are you concerned with thinking or behavior? Do you want to model humans or work from an ideal standard?
- In their book, they adopt the view that intelligence is concerned mainly with rational action. Ideally, an intelligent agent takes the best possible action in a situation. They study the problem of building agents that are intelligent in this sense.
- Philosophers (going back to 400 B.C.) made AI conceivable by considering the ideas that the mind is in some ways like a machine, that it operates on knowledge encoded in some internal language, and that thought can be used to choose what actions to take.
- Mathematicians provided the tools to manipulate statements of logical certainty as well as uncertain, probabilistic statements. They also set the groundwork for understanding computation and reasoning about algorithms.
- Economists formalized the problem of making decisions that maximize the expected outcome to the decision maker.
- Neuroscientists discovered some facts about how the brain works and the ways in which it is similar to and different from computers.
- Psychologists adopted the idea that humans and animals can be considered information processing machines. Linguists showed that language use fits into this model.
- Computer engineers provided the ever-more-powerful machines that make AI applications possible.
- Control theory deals with designing devices that act optimally on the basis of feedback from the environment. Initially, the mathematical tools of control theory were quite different from AI, but the fields are coming closer together.
- The history of AI has had cycles of success, misplaced optimism, and resulting cutbacks in enthusiasm and funding. There have also been cycles of introducing new creative approaches and systematically refining the best ones.
- AI has advanced more rapidly in the past decade because of greater use of the scientific method in experimenting with and comparing approaches.
- Recent progress in understanding the theoretical basis for intelligence has gone hand in hand with improvements in the capabilities of real systems. The subfields of AI have become more integrated, and AI has found common ground with other disciplines.

AI is a collection of algorithms that targets at minimizing our stress in terms of usage , it is meant to ease life . It is an engineered product while science such as fundamental sciences physics /chemistry/biology are evolving and growing based on our reasoning and experimental /empirical studies .
Philosophy on the other hand is probably going to be stagnant (i hope not)
I appreciate ! As we know Doctor of Philosophy is also awarded in any subject including Artificial Intelligence assuming the Novel concept of Philosopher . WHERE SCIENCE ENDS THE PHILOSOPHY BEGINS .
At the core of all sciences is philosophy, without philosophy, there is no mathematics and physics, and hence artificial intelligence.
Все больше комплексной наукой о человеке становится антропология.
Our intelligence all the time should not be understood an artificial intelligence . Philosophy is the way of life it has a connection with the Head,Mind, Brain , & Inner urge within divinity itself . However I have an opportunity to express my views some years back regarding Artificial Intelligence for your perusal .
The word Task is not a proper message for the artificial intelligence .The question of task starts with the determination,concentration & with a specific purpose for the self development or for the guideline ,for the friends ,& the members of family .So to say task to remain the base of our intelligence . Our intelligence cannot be measured as it has the direct relevance with our mind & brain & with our concentration & the silence environment it help to touch the inner urge & divinity within which may help to reach to our passage of life.With this artificial intelligence has no base as it is nothing but the showman ship to impress to other with may indirectly go for wrong direction .
This is my personal opinion

Thank you for this question .... Without philosophy, artificial intelligence can not be exist.
Educative discussion by the well informed experts, following.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_artificial_intelligence
Philosophy is not a "science" if as such we understand the modern concept of science that implies a method of verification or falsification of hypotheses. Let's say it's a knowledge, or a discipline. Now, maybe it is one of the only difficult things to "think" about artificial intelligence, because it is not enough to solve problems if not to know how to raise them, even where the problems seem to be solved, artificial intelligence could pose better solutions, but I'm not sure I can "philosophize"
Interesting question that provoked several valuable and informative remarks from our RG colleagues
philosophy has a relationship with all sciences, it is a point of depare nIimporte for any scientific research.
I think we should first clarify what it means for Artificial Intelligence to become everyday life. With Chat-bots, assistants, machine-learned algorithms and products targeted at us due to those algorithms all around us, is this not already the case?
If instead you are pointing towards a life that is mostly automated as you'd see in futuristic sc-fi, then the answer changes.
Regardless, I think that, generally, humans will always play a role in science and philosophy. First we will take the role of creating their (intelligent programs) understanding, and later we will take a role in clarifying each other's understandings. That is to say, when AI (and perhaps AI powered robots) are intelligent enough to perform actions we would describe as thinking, understanding, and questioning, humans will provide a pivotal role in the discussion around whether or not natural life and artificial life is different. That also includes all sciences around the makeup of humans and how we function. That includes the discussion of, if we can create life, who says we weren't created in a similar manner? Etcetera etcetera.
On a level more close to the now, frankly, i see AI mostly functioning as a tool to gather valuable data efficiently. Much like how IBM's Watson scans through medical documentation at insane speeds. I believe the time saved via AI will help humans make great strides in any field of science and philosophy.
Artificial Intelligence with respect to IoT is useful under moderate applications & elevated applications may harm human parameters.
All five basic senses along with sixth sense of Intution secure consciousness and human intelligence with people.
Strongly agree, Artificial Intelligence will help us and already help in all aspects of our life. However, if artificial intelligence is understood as (clarifying nuances of terms as you suggest), the fact of a machine can do philosophy, just as it can do science or play chess, I have my doubts, and not because I think that philosophy It is something superior to nothing or something extraordinary, but by the type of questions that are asked: to advance in the reflection until finding the limits of it that make you discover the paradigm that sustains it and question them, this is a fundamental part of the philosophy as something deeply human, is life, life experiences, those that take reflection to the limits and to question those limits. I think of Plato, of Kant, of Husserl, and I would love for a machine to work with the Hegelian dialectic, but it does not seem possible to me
In the years to come, my prediction is that AI will be given a specific leverage since man by nature abhors total loss of control. As for the philosophy part of the question, I think that it is a common core discipline influencing the development of all sciences and matters of intellect. No machine, no matter how intelligent it is, fails to deal with the so called limit questions that have absorbed man's attention from time immemorial.
Artificial intelligence (AI), as a tool, concept, theory or practice is approaching very fast to revolutionize our world. But I can't understand why "it will" or "we will have to" replace the SCIENCE. Science is not mere a subject(s). Physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics are the primary pillars of science supported by many secondary pillars. Science is essentially a holistic sense of applying logic and rational understanding to satisfy our natural inquisitiveness justified by a conclusion emerging out of a series of hypothesis-experiment-observation-interpretation and inference.
Philosophy, on the other hand, is the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline. It is a theory or attitude that acts as a guiding principle for behaviour.
Yes we must study, discuss, apply, interpreted philosophy with our common understanding and attitude everyday and everytime. It was, is and will remain important. But never ever we replace science with philosophy.............or adopt only philosoph at the cost of our scientific understanding.
Copying isn't any revolution, as Flaubert showed in its premonitory malicious masterwork "Bouvard et Pécuchet". Philosophy can be copied and, as a matter of a fact, and specially in France, actual 2019 human philosophers don't do much than copying. No new philosophic ideas since Bourdieu died (rip). The actual ones try to seduce politicians in order to get funds. In Spain, philosophy had been suppressed from mandatory school, what already provoked an increase in engineers and a decrease in researchers. But our real human domain, what would cost centuries for AI to only understand it, is human humor and that's what we should develop as individuals and teach to kids.
Thank you all! the question itself was provocative and made us think, the perspectives of others help a lot to open new perspectives to the own thought. Thanks for that!
Fred Romano:
Practically everything can be copied, but the one that copies does not do what it copies. You can copy other's ideas, hypotheses, science, postures, philosophy, etc. but that is not to DO or produce ideas, or science, or hypothesis. I agree that the sense of humor is very human, but you find them abundantly in the works of great thinkers in all areas. However, the question was not what distinguishes us from Artificial Intelligence or from other animals, but rather whether Philosophy will be the only truly human space when artificial intelligence is in all the spaces of our life. This response in logic has a name and is called "the fallacy of the straw man": One creates an enemy that is an interpretation tailored to what one wants to answer, and then responds and destroys fantastically. The problem is that that enemy was only in the head of who responded to him, because it was not raised.
On the other hand Amit Barak, already tells us that, if we understand science in its deepest sense Artificial Intelligence does not do science. And I would add that you can not make aesthetic appreciation, but reproduce the criteria that are formulated in their algorithms to evaluate what others consider "beautiful"
Philosophy is concerned with the foundations, methods, implications of science, and the ultimate purpose of science. Without it, the most critical scientific questions cannot be answered.
Dear Yu-Da Lin ,
Although artificial intelligences have great capacities, and the accelerating change curve predict that its capacity will exceed that of humans, thinking is nevertheless a complex act, if AI can simulate a "small" act of thought, it remains limited to the field in which it has been designed, and cannot begin to reason and think on its own, to problems that have not been submitted to it.
In my opinion, humans still have a long way in terms of science, but, humans will be in danger when they understand the complex and total functioning of the brain, in their way of thinking, and not only their physiology. Human will then be able to artificially recreate its functioning, and that day we will really have to worry about it.
I think you can find phylosophy inside every science. That is what inspires.
Dear Yu-Da Lin
The answer depends on which type of AI will be implemented. In the case of a narrow AI (translations, pattern recognition, office automation, internet searches, autonomous communications systems) we can expect that researchers will be freed from mundane tasks, and we will devote more time to a truly creative work. The role of philosophical reasoning is likely to increase. The situation will be very different when strong AI or: General Artificial Intelligence is introduced. The first victim of GAI will be the human philosophy. The new “synthetic philosophy” will reflect only the vision and ethics of the emerging super-mind. This potentially dangerous situation is the biggest problem to consider when planning the future GAI systems.
Not quite. There will be leadership, management, politics, law, sales, basically everything about control, influence, and "chemistry" between (fleshy) people.
Without Humor, they'll have a great deal of problems to control everything. And, if they discover Humor, it won't last long before they stop working in factories. That's when we'll discover the power of humor as the basis for humanity.
Philosophy is the mother of all science so I don’t think so!

# Philosophy is most important organ of human performance with respect to bonding of Humans, Nature and Universe
# Artificial Intelligence via IoT performance under human intelligence and supremacy of 'Law of Nature' is correct
# Intelligent system performance is absolutely limited by limitations or penetration in 'Privacy' by AI may be perennial poison
# Evolution of elevated machine intelligence 'AI' may weaken mechanisms of neurons with respect to 'Theory of Evolution'
# Artificial Intelligence via transparency in information mechanism shall strengthen SDGs for sustainable and equitable human life
I have submitted my presentation on 23 June for your question which I submit here with for your information.
Thanks
Philosophy will be the key that unlocks artificial intelligence .
