Making AI Great Again: Keeping the AI Spring

Abstract

There are philosophical implications to how we define Artificial Intelligence (AI). To talk about AI is to deal with philosophy. Working on the intersections between these subjects, this paper takes a multi-lens approach in examining the reasons for the present resurgence of interest in things AI through a range of historical, linguistic, mathematical and economic perspectives. It identifies AI’s past decline and offers suggestions on how to sustain and give substance to the current global hype and frenzy surrounding AI.
