The Philosophy of Science in CMU and Pearl's Theory of Causality:The Influences of Philosophy of Science on Artificial Intelligence
The value of philosophy of science to science has always been controversial.This paper discussed the influences of philosophy of science on artificial intelligence by studying the contribution of the philosophy of science in CMU to Judy Pearl's theory of causality,which is one of the most important theories in artificial intelligence.The philosophy of science in CMU proposed a research result that represents"intervention"as a change in the graph structure,which plays a very critical role in Pearl's establishment of his theory of causality.Therefore,it can be seen that philosophy of science has an important impact on artificial intelligence.We also tried to analyze why the research results of philosophy of science in CMU contributed to Pearl's construction of his theory,and why philosophy of science can influence artificial intelligence.
