No, I’m not going to embark on this debate. The concepts of ‘intelligence’ and ‘artificial’ are very complex on their own, let alone when merged. Instead, I will follow in the footsteps of the Italian philosopher and art critic Dino Formaggio who wrote: “Art is everything that man calls art. This is not, as someone might think, a mere opening remark, but rather, perhaps, the only acceptable and verifiable definition of the concept of art”. So, here, I will consider artificial intelligence (AI) as everything that humanity calls artificial intelligence. This too, perhaps, is the only verifiable definition of the concept of artificial intelligence (whether it’s acceptable, I don’t know). One thing, though, I’m rather sure of: the very essence of AI is mathematics. Data, which may have meaning for us, are fed into generally complex algorithms, which output data that may have meaning for us. Mathematics, in itself, has no morals, no feelings, no goals, and not even meaning. AI is the void of mathematics and therefore is a probe of our essence and our intentions.
