This is because a robot, if it is to have human level intelligence and ability to learn from its experience, needs a general world view in which to organize facts. It turns out that many philosophical problems take new forms when thought about in terms of how to design a robot. Some approaches to philosophy are helpful and others are not. date: 1995 date_type: published refereed: FALSE citation: McCarthy, John (1995) Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy.
