The history of artificial intelligence (AI) examines the development and evolution of computational systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Key research themes

1. How did early cultural myths and controversies shape the conceptualization of Artificial Intelligence?

This research area examines how the rise of AI in its formative decades (1950s–1970s) was deeply intertwined with powerful technological myths and cultural narratives envisioning computers as 'thinking machines.' The focus is on how analogies from diverse domains, optimistic future-oriented rhetoric, and public controversies influenced both scientific discourse and popular understanding of AI. Understanding these discursive patterns is crucial for grasping the persistent cultural imaginaries that shape AI research trajectories and societal expectations.

Key finding: This review critically revisits Turing’s seminal 1950 paper, emphasizing tensions between embodied cognition approaches and purely computational models of intelligence. It highlights Turing’s anticipation of incremental... Read more
Key finding: This comprehensive historical narrative traces AI’s origins from mythic and literary antecedents through formal logic and early computing machines, emphasizing foundational milestones like the Logic Theorist and perceptrons.... Read more

2. What are the philosophical and methodological roots informing symbolic AI and its historical evolution prior to digital computers?

This theme investigates the deep intellectual antecedents of AI grounded in formal logic, symbolic reasoning, and combinatorial methods traceable to ancient Greek philosophy and mathematics. It analyzes how foundational concepts such as Aristotle’s formalization of inference, Pythagorean numerology, and early mechanical reasoning influenced the development of symbolic AI, including its philosophical assumptions about knowledge, cognition, and computation. Understanding these roots reveals the epistemological frameworks that shaped early AI research and highlights persistent challenges like combinatorial explosion.

Key finding: This paper systematically traces the origins of symbolic AI to ancient Greek concepts, notably Pythagorean number theory and Aristotle's formal logic, identifying that the conceptualization of intelligence as computable... Read more

Key finding: This foundational work introduces the concept of Global Artificial Intelligence (GAI) as an evolutionary extension of domain-specific AI models, envisioning automated scientific research systems capable of integrative... Read more

3. How does the integration of Artificial Research by Application and Artificial Research by Deduction contribute to the development of Global Artificial Intelligence (GAI)?

This theme explores the staged collaboration between two conceptual AI research paradigms: Deductive AI focusing on hypothesis formulation and logical inference, and Applied AI centered on empirical data collection and categorization. The integration proceeds through database alignment, mutual transformability of factors and categories, and recursive autocatalytic feedback loops, advancing toward a unified Global Artificial Intelligence. Understanding these processes elucidates the architecture enabling AI systems to autonomously generate, validate, and apply knowledge, crucial for scalable, interdisciplinary AI frameworks.

Key finding: This study details how standardization of deductive frameworks across disciplines culminates in a global matrix that serves as the structural backbone for GAI. It reveals that the successive incorporation of application-based... Read more
Key finding: This paper explicates the replication stage of GAI development, highlighting the bidirectional flow where deductively validated rational hypotheses transform into measurable, trackable factors within matrices and are... Read more
Key finding: In the auto-replication stage, this paper argues that deductive and applicative research systems evolve into a reflexive, unified intelligence through recursive exchange and incorporation of each other's outputs, especially... Read more
Key finding: This foundational work describes the initial experimental phase of collaboration between deductive and applicative AI, emphasizing early standardization and database interoperability as prerequisites for GAI. It highlights... Read more
