    Artificial Intelligence as Philosophy (edited book)
    Eliva Press. 2021.
    Artificial intelligence is not and has never been a technology. It began with Turing's famous "can machine think?", a philosophical question that too many were quick to transform into a more prosaic "can Thought be mechanized?" Only in this perspective can the history and the technological success of AI be duly explained and understood, one of the tasks this book engages in.

    Artificial intelligence is not and has never been a technology. It began with Turing's famous "can machine think?", a philosophical question that too many were quick to transform into a more prosaic "can Thought be mechanized?" Only in this perspective can the history and the technological success of AI be duly explained and understood, one of the tasks this book engages in. It is important for philosophers to take AI seriously, and for AI researchers to see their discipline through the lenses of the adventure of the Spirit of man. The conclusion is that - paraphrasing Von Clausewitz's declaration about politics - "AI is a continuation of Philosophy by other means". Only after a proper meditaion and understanding of this fact can all the ethical, social and economical debates surrounding Artificial Intelligence begin to be discussed.

    The Resistible Rise of Cognitive Science
    Www.Intelligenzaartificialecomefilosofia.Com. 2021.
    The paper argues that it is the rise of Artificial Intelligence as a concrete possibility (the idea of a thinking machine) that favoured the growth of interest in Cognitive Science within the academic community. This puts the history and the definition of AI in a different light, as it can be seen and understood as "a continuation of Philosophy by other means" (Landi, 2020) and not merely as a technology or a sum of technologies.

    Ethics of Artificial Intelligence vs Ethical Artificial Intelligence
    Www.Intelligenzaartificialecomefilosofia.Com. 2020.
    The discussion and debates around Ethical AI cannot simply ignore the fact that ethics is not a self-standing discipline by is part of Philosophy and can only be approached as such

    Philosophy of Mind, Mind of Philosophy
    Www.Intelligenzaartificialecomefilosofia.Com. 2020.
    Philosophy of Mind is usualy seen as the theoretical field in which theories about the functioning of the mind are elaborated, to be afterwards empirically tested through Artificial Intelligence. But this empirical approach does not fit the human mind which is not simply a machine. It is therefore possible to see Philosophy of Mind as a necessary creation to empty AI of its philosophical charge

    Big Data, Scientific Research and Philosophy
    Www.Intelligenzaartificialecomefilosofia.Com. 2020.
    What is the epistemological status of Big Data? Is there really place for them in a scientific search for new empirical laws?
