Evolution of Artificial Intelligence Research Paradigms
Hostičková, Iva ; Ivánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Souček, Martin (referee)
(in English): The purpose of this thesis is to describe developments of research in the field of artificial intelligence, from the point of view reflecting changes in current paradigms, and to analyze contemporary tendencies. This thesis systemically places the paradigm term into contexts of theoretical sciences and it explains in what way the term is being used. Further, the thesis describes artificial intelligence and several selected components. The thesis researches the basic paradigms of artificial intelligence - the symbolic and connectionistic paradigm, and is also researching new approaches and analyzing their beginnings and important development periods. The thesis analyzes reasons that were behind these developments. In addition to questions related to technical developments, financial support of selected research played an important role. The closing part of the thesis also analyzes reasons of current artificial intelligence expansion, worries connected to this expansion, and current research trends.
Natural and Artificial Intelligence
Šaněk, Petr ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Brixí, Radim (referee)
This work deals with the field of artificial intelligence and the interconnected question of the possibility to make thinking machines. The natural and human intelligence evolution summary outlines the starting points of the field. To give the clearer picture of the problem, I also describe the development of artificial intelligence branch and the development of computers. My work combines informatics and philosophical approaches. In the scope of the first one, I summarize different approaches to AI, with emphasis on sub-symbolic methods which are used afterwards to explain the concept of intelligence development. In the scope of the philosophical approach, the text deals with different philosophical points of view on making intelligent machines, which comment phenomena like consciousness, subjective experience or the body-mind problem. I contradict the use of intuition to solve the thought experiments dealing with mind and I argue for the possibility to make intelligent machines. The futurology visions are the last starting point for stating my opinion on the future development of IA and human ability to make the thinking machine.
