Category talk:Artificial intelligence

Why is this section so poor?, all kinds of references seem to be missing - Totality, Predicate Calculus, I dont even see cybernetics listed as a subcategory of AI, or even in computing science itself, whats happening!!?.

 * I'm not familiar with any Totality associated with artificial intelligence. What is that?


 * Predicate calculus is under logic, which is not strictly a sub-category of artificial intelligence. The intersection of artificial intelligence and logic is the sub-category "logic programming".


 * Cybernetics could be a sub-category of artificial intelligence, but I think a better place would be under robotics, which is a subcategory of artificial intelligence.


 * (Still, it's kind of borderline. For one thing, cybernetics can analyze systems that are not in any sense intelligent, which suggests that, although there is an overlap, cybernetics is not strictly speaking a sub-category of artificial intelligence or robotics. If we want to be far too precise about it, we could make a sub-category "cybernetic robotics" which would cover the intersection of cybernetics and robotics, but this would be overkill, of course. Everything I've just said is overkill.)


 * (In the same vein, cybernetics is not a sub-category of computer science, since cybernetic systems don't use computers at all.)


 * (Oddly enough, the category "Cybernetics" lists AI as sub-category! I'm not sure McCarthy or Wiener would argree. This could use some clean up.)


 * The issue I think you're failing to appreciate is that there are more than a thousand articles in the hierarchy below artificial intelligence. They can't be brought up to the top level, or the category would be useless. (See WP:SUBCAT.) Similarly, we have to be careful about adding things that are only related to AI, but aren't strictly a part of AI. CharlesGillingham 00:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

IA is the most important subject to the modern world if studied without prejudice.A cybernetics and robotics technology helping us explores places man has never reached. [xolani ndlovu] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.15.123.182 (talk) 11:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
