Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

One of the most important events in the 1950s was when McCarthy officially started to mention artificial intelligence (AI) as a research field at Dartmouth. After that, the past few decades have witnessed the rapid development of AI in a lot of different subjects, including mathematics, computer science, cognitive science, and psychology. With this development, a novel research field has gradually emerged, known as “philosophy of artificial intelligence”. In this field, we not only focus on technological development of AI, but also address the philosophical issues. McCarthy and Hayes attempted to represent our world and formalized the concepts of causality, agency, and knowledge. By first-order logic, McCarthy and Hayes treated those concepts as modal operators. The whole world and any other possible worlds as part of a different model were settled in an artificial mind. This aim attempted to understand “cognition” as “computation”.

Besides the viewpoint of logic, AI involves almost all traditional fields of philosophy, and recently involved ethical and aesthetical debates on the problem of algorithmic justice, trustworthy AI, and AI art making. Although AI continues to achieve unimaginable success that seems to surpass human beings, man–machine integration and metaverse may provide some new spaces to avoid elimination and enhance ourselves. Thus, we also want to investigate: how does AI relate to these two technologies?

The goals of this frontier forum and this Special Issue of Philosophies are (1) to respond philosophically to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, man–machine integration, and metaverse, as well as illuminate some cross-cutting areas; (2) to excavate some ethical and reliable development strategies for AI; and (3) to promote academic communication between philosophers and AI researchers.

The realization of artificial empathy is conditional on the following: on the one hand, human emotions can be recognized by AI and, on the other hand, the emotions presented by artificial intelligence are consistent with human emotions. Faced with these two conditions, what we explored is how to identify emotions, and how to prove that AI has the ability to reflect on emotional consciousness in the process of cognitive processing, In order to explain the first question, this paper argues that emotion identification mainly includes the following three processes: emotional perception, emotional cognition and emotional reflection. It proposes that emotional display mainly includes the following three dimensions: basic emotions, secondary emotions and abstract emotions. On this basis, the paper proposes that the realization of artificial empathy needs to meet the following three cognitive processing capabilities: the integral processing ability of external emotions, the integral processing ability of proprioceptive emotions and the processing ability of integrating internal and external emotions. We are open to whether the second difficulty can be addressed. In order to gain the reflective ability of emotional consciousness for AI, the paper proposes that artificial intelligence should include consistency on identification of external emotions and emotional expression, processing of ontological emotions and external emotions, integration of internal and external emotions and generation of proprioceptive emotions.

Time is a necessary element in understanding AI art. Firstly, time reveals the historical process by which art-theoretical predicates move from the unmarked to the marked, which can thus be utilized as a defense for arguing the legitimacy of AI art as art. Furthermore, AI art should be seen as a “new” art that is temporally ahead of the descriptive forms of art theory. Secondly, time provides a unique interpretation of AI artworks’ characteristics and aesthetic experience. The absence of experience, the de-depth of AI artworks, and the “short experience/short memory” aesthetic mode of the masses are closely linked to the scarcity of time in an age of acceleration. Finally, time reflects the loss of “aura” and the new end of art that AI art may bring about. Time provides a defense and explanation of AI art, as well as a perspective for reflecting on the development of art in contemporary times. Full article
