Abstract

Abstract:

Due to the high importance and complexity in artificial intelligence (AI) study, there have been various schools of AI theory that were formed in the 20th century among which the structuralism, functionalism and behaviorism approaches are the representatives. All the three approaches have made appreciable successes. However, there have been also controversies among the three. A new approach, named mechanism approach, is thus proposed here to attack the nucleus of intelligence through the investigation on the core mechanism of its formation. It is our discovery that the core mechanism of intelligence formation appeared to be a series of transformations -- from information to knowledge and further to intelligence. In addition, it is also found that the three mentioned schools of AI theory could well be harmoniously unified within the framework of the mechanism approach. The mechanism approach and the harmonious unification of AI theories may hopefully provide a new understanding and hence a new direction for the future development of AI theory.

Key words: structural approach, functional approach, behavioral approach, mechanism approach, unified theory of artificial intelligence
