Wittgenstein and Artificial Intelligence, Volume II

‘This book offers fresh perspectives on AI through Wittgensteinian lenses: meaning as use, secondary meaning, creativity in rule-following, universals as family resemblances, analogical thinking, truthfulness, cognition embodied, language-games anchored in shared ways of living and acting – and thus potentially always more than what can be captured by LLMs.’ — Alois Pichler, Professor at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Bergen, and Head of the Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB) ‘Questions of mind and language are central to both AI and the philosophy of Wittgenstein. These volumes richly elaborate the key connections, as well as their ethical implications – and in so doing prove the ongoing relevance of philosophy to the cutting edge of developments affecting our world.’ — Professor Anthony Grayling, Principal and Founder, Northeastern University London ‘Thanks to an impressive number of expert contributions covering a wide spectrum of enquiry across scientific disciplines, this collection stands as a compelling testament to the enduring relevance of Wittgenstein’s ideas in contemporary discussions surrounding artificial intelligence, its foundations, risks and transformative potential.’ — Barbara McGillivray, Turing Research Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge and Editor in Chief of the Journal of Open Humanities Data
