The article "What Is AI Technology?" by John Paul Mueller and Luca Massaron explores four primary approaches to defining artificial intelligence (AI):
Acting Humanly: This approach evaluates AI based on its ability to mimic human behavior, as exemplified by the Turing Test, where a machine's success is determined by its indistinguishability from a human in conversation.
Thinking Humanly: This perspective focuses on AI's capacity to emulate human thought processes, often assessed through cognitive modeling techniques such as introspection, psychological testing, and brain imaging.
Thinking Rationally: This definition considers AI as systems capable of logical reasoning and problem-solving, emphasizing the importance of rational thought in achieving goals.
Acting Rationally: This viewpoint defines AI by its ability to act in a manner that is both rational and goal-oriented, making decisions that maximize the likelihood of achieving specific objectives.
The article further discusses Arend Hintze's classifications of AI, which include reactive machines, limited memory systems, theory of mind, and self-aware AI, providing a comprehensive overview of the various dimensions through which AI can be understood and evaluated.
