Abstract
This article is a revised version of Shapiro, S. C. "Artificial Intelligence," in S. C. Shapiro, Ed. Encyclopedia of Artificial Intelligence, Second Edition. New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1991. engaged in by people, is commonly taken as being part of human intelligent cognitive behavior. It is acceptable, though not required, if the implemented model perform some tasks better than any person would. Bearing in mind Church's Thesis (see Church, Alonzo), this goal might be reworded as asking the question, "Is intelligence a computable function?" In the AI areas of computer vision (q.v.) and robotics (q.v.), computational philosophy is sometimes replaced by computational natural philosophy (science). For example, some computer vision researchers are interested in the computational optics question of how the information contained in light waves reflected from an object can be used to reconstruct the object. Notice that this is a different question from the computational psychology question of how the human visual system uses light waves falling on the retina to identify objects in the world, or even the computational philosophy question of how any intelligent entity could use light waves falling on a two-dimensional retinal grid to discriminate one three-dimensional object-in-the-world from a set of other possible objects.
