Main Content

The rapid development of contemporary artificial intelligence technology has driven philosophical research to shift from traditional metaphysical speculation to a more practical methodological reconstruction. This process marks a deep transformation of artificial intelligence philosophy from conceptual analysis to an engineering philosophy paradigm. Facing the essential differences between artificial intelligence and human intelligence, the complexity of technical systems, and the dynamic characteristics of intelligence generation, this lecture systematically explores the methodological innovation of artificial intelligence philosophy research through multiple dimensions such as the dimension of intelligence types, the dimension of research paradigms, and the dimension of experimental philosophy. That is, the multi-dimensional perspective of intelligent understanding, the paradigm shift of systematic/generative/contingency in engineering philosophy, and the thinking transformation based on fallibility/complexity/openness. This not only responds to the theoretical challenges that technological practice poses to philosophy, but also provides new possibilities for intelligent cognition in the "post-human" era.
