“From a modelling perspective, there is not a definitive “winning” method in the “science of artificial”. Different approaches are useful for modelling certain classes of cognitive phenomena, but no one can account for all aspects of cognition” Artificial IntelligenceCognitionCognitive ScienceComputational SimulationCognitive ModellingCognitive System Book:Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds Source: Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds
“it is not sufficient for an artificial system to obtain human (or super-human) level performances in specific tasks to attach to it the label “cognitive system” Artificial IntelligenceArtificial Intelligence QuotesCognitive ScienceComputational Cognitive Science Book:Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds Source: Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds
“The Minimal Cognitive Grid (MCG) provides a non-subjective, graded, evaluation framework allowing both quantitative and qualitative analysis about the cognitive adequacy and the human-like performances of artificial systems (in both single and multi-tasking settings). In principle (and in perspective), the psychometric declination of one of its composing dimensions (in particular the “performance match”) could be also useful to evaluate the human-level performances in both narrow and unrestricted settings.” Artificial IntelligenceArtificial Intelligence QuotesCognitive Science Book:Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds Source: Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds
“While AI technology has reached important levels of performances in narrow settings, the missing part concerns exactly the study of how to create artificial companions (embodied and disembodied) able to integrate different skills in order to help humans in their everyday activities. Similarly, computational cognitive science is interested in individuating how the brain and the mind works as integrated systems. This renewed convergence is, in my view, a necessity driven by the fact that modern and future AI and CogSci research will be again disciplines interested in the same topic: namely the discovery of the mechanisms enabling multitasking intelligence. In order to advance the scientific knowledge in their respective field, in fact, they need to evolve and become sciences (of the artificial) studying the mysteries of "integrated intelligence". Time seems mature for a renewed collaboration.” Artificial IntelligenceCognitive Science Book:Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds Source: Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds
