Abstract

Abstract Artificial intelligence plays an important role in contemporary medicine. In this short note, we emphasize that philosophy played a role in the development of artificial intelligence. We argue that research in computability theory, the theoretical foundation of modern computer science, was motivated by a philosophical question: can we characterize precisely the class of problems that can be solved by algorithms? We suggest that reflecting on the connection between philosophy and artificial intelligence helps realize that philosophical and scientific progress are connected.
