Artificial intelligence: is the ability to recognize artificial systems, patterns and redundancies, to complete incomplete sequences, to re-formulate and solve problems, and to estimate probabilities. This is not an automation of human behavior, since such an automation could be a mechanical imitation. Rather, artificial systems are only used by humans to make decisions, when these systems have already made autonomous decisions._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

I 22 Artificial Intelligence/Weizenbaum: thesis: human intelligence and that of machines must be separated.

I 23 The human relies on autonomous machines, i.e. machines that work entirely on the basis of their own inner reality for a longer period of time. I 24 When we talk about bureaucracy today, we have the idea of an independent, machine-like process. >Bureaucracy. I 262 Artificial Intelligence/Weizenbaum: Problem: there are thoughts that no machine will ever understand, because they relate to goals that are not appropriate for machines. >Thinking, >World/Thinking, >Thought. I 269 Existence/Life/Human/World/Reality/Weizenbaum: Thesis: an organism is largely defined by the problems it faces. Human beings have to cope with problems that no machine built by human hands ever has to deal with. >Artificial consciousness, >Problems, >Problem solving, >Reality, >World._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
