Abstract

The dream of achieving artificial intelligence (AI) and, in particular, artificial consciousness (‘strong AI’), is reflected in mythologies and popular culture as utopia and dystopia. This article discusses its conceptual possibility. It first relates the desire to realise strong AI to a self-perception of humanity as opposed to nature, metaphorically represented as gods or God. The realisation of strong AI is perceived as an ultimate victory on nature or God because it represents the crown of creation or evolution: conscious intelligence. The paper proceeds to summarise two debates relevant to AI: one educational and one technological. The technological debate, almost invariably presupposing a materialist framework, is related to the mind–body problem of philosophy; the educational one to understanding the concept of intelligence. By proposing a definition of intelligence linked to an idealist conception of reality, postulating mind as participation in Absolute Mind, I attempt a convergence of these debates, rejecting the possibility of strong AI.

从绝对思维到僵尸:人工智能可能吗?

实现人工智能(AI)，特别是人工意识(“强人工智能”)的梦想，在神话和流行文化中被反映为乌托邦和反乌托邦。本文探讨了其概念可能性。它首先将实现强人工智能的愿望与人类的自我感知联系起来，而不是自然，比喻为神或上帝。强人工智能的实现被认为是对自然或上帝的最终胜利，因为它代表了创造或进化的王冠:有意识的智能。本文接着总结了与人工智能相关的两场辩论:一场是教育辩论，一场是技术辩论。技术辩论几乎总是以唯物主义框架为前提，与哲学的身心问题有关;从教育角度理解智能的概念。通过提出与现实的理想主义概念相联系的智能定义，假设心智是绝对心智的参与，我试图将这些争论融合起来，拒绝强人工智能的可能性。

期刊介绍： "Scientia et Fides" (SetF) is an open access online journal published twice a year. It is promoted by the Faculty of Theology of Nicolaus Copernicus University, in Torun, in collaboration with the Group of Research “Science, Reason and Faith” (CRYF), at the University of Navarra. The journal is characterised by the interdisciplinary approach, multiplicity of research perspectives and broad reflection on methodology as well as analysis of the latest publications on the relationship between science and faith. The tasks of the journal are perfectly expressed by the motto "Veritas in omnibus quaerenda est" ("to seek the truth in all things") from "De revolutionibus" by Nicolaus Copernicus. SetF aims to present rigorous research works regarding different aspects of the relationship between science and religion. For this reason, SetF articles are not confined to the methodology of a single discipline and may cover a wide range of topics, provided that the interdisciplinary dialogue between science and religion is undertaken. The journal accepts articles written in English, Spanish, Polish, French, Italian and German which will be evaluated by a peer-review process.
