Artificial Intelligence and Scientific Method by Donald Gillies
Examining the advances made in the field of Artificial Intelligence, this work discusses their profound implications for philosophy. It shows how views on scientific method are challenged. Drawing on work by seminal thinkers, it addresses the question of whether computers might become intellectually superior to human beings.
