Ontologies for Artificial Minds
Alessandro Oltramari · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2018
Ontologists build formal models to understand the structure of reality. The fun starts –and I had a lot of it back in the PhD days (!)– when Formal Ontology is applied to understand the structure of what we indisputably use to understand reality itself: the mind. Philosophers have spent lifetimes hovering over this conundrum but I stopped more than a decade ago. Fast-forwarding to the present, I have been busy with a not-so-distant, yet more mundane, problem: building ontologies for AI.
