The evolution of artificial intelligence: problems and prospects of rational cognition

Objective: This article undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the constructivist paradigm in artificial intelligence (AI) development, aiming to uncover how constructivist perspectives shape our understanding of AI. It delves into the evolution of AI thought, emphasizing the significance of constructivist epistemology in comprehending AI's philosophical and cognitive dimensions. Method: The study employs a variety of philosophical methodologies, including historical-philosophical analysis, comparative analysis of philosophical teachings, and a system-structural dialectical approach. These methods facilitate an in-depth examination of AI's conceptual intricacies within a constructivist framework, focusing on the relationship between artificial and natural intelligence and the epistemological implications of AI. Results: The investigation reveals that the main challenge in AI research is the absence of clear problem-solving rules, highlighting the current limitations of human self-knowledge in logical and emotional intelligence. It showcases AI's vast capabilities, from extensive knowledge bases to real-time processing, and emphasizes AI's role in enhancing human cognitive processes. Conclusions: Artificial intelligence, as a construct of human intellect, mirrors the capacity for design and creativity inherent in human thought. The study underscores AI's foundational role in the epistemology of science and technology, advocating for a holistic understanding of the human brain as a dynamic system to further our grasp of AI and its cognitive potential.
