    • Understanding justification of actions is crucial for building moral agents.

    Types of Intelligence (Howard Gardner)

    • Linguistic: Proficiency in spoken/written language.
    • Logical-Mathematical: Skills in mathematics and logical reasoning.
    • Musical: Abilities in performing/composing music.
    • Spatial: Capacity to analyze and manipulate visual information.
    • Bodily-Kinesthetic: Skills in physical activities like dance or sports.
    • Interpersonal: Understanding and interacting effectively with others.
    • Intrapersonal: Insights into one's own emotions and motivations.
    • Naturalistic: Ability to relate to the natural world.

    Historical Perspectives in Philosophy Relevant to AI

    • Aristotle established foundational laws for rational thinking through syllogisms.
    • Ramon Llull created Ars Magna, a mechanical system for reasoning.
    • Thomas Hobbes introduced the notion of a "thinking machine," equating reasoning with numerical computation.
    • René Descartes articulated the distinction between mind and matter.

    Developments in Neuroscience Relevant to AI

    • Paul Broca's research on aphasia opened studies on brain function.

    • Hans Berger invented the EEG to measure brain activity.
    • Functional MRI advanced understanding of brain processes and cognitive functions.
    • Brain-machine interfaces revealed neural adaptability and interaction with external devices.

    Mathematical Foundations for AI

    • George Boole pioneered propositional logic, known as Boolean Logic.
    • Gerolamo Cardano introduced probability theory in gaming contexts.
    • Contributions from Jacob Bernoulli and Pierre Laplace advanced probability and statistics.
    • The convergence of probability and data led to the evolution of statistics and computational linguistics.

    Cognitive Psychology and AI

    • Cognitive psychology compares the brain to an information processing system.
    • Donald Broadbent modeled psychological phenomena as information processing.
    • George Miller's "Magic Number Seven" explored memory limits.
    • Noam Chomsky analyzed language structure, influencing AI language processing.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of AI
