Hubert Dreyfus’ “What computers Can’t Do” will be 50 years old in 2022. Despite having been released half a century ago, it is still pertaining when it comes to the gap between human cognition and artificial intelligence. I like Dreyfus’ critique to artificial reason mostly because he was actually concerned with human intelligence, not so much machines’ intelligence. The book (which got a second edition, amplified, in 1992) is compelling for those interested in comprehending some of the most important challenges faced by AI \u2013 and that have not yet been overcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by phenomenologists like Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, Dreyfus (who unfortunately died in 2017 at 87) advocated that human intelligence is far beyond computation and representation. He suggested that we are “skillful copers”, i.e., highly skilled embodied agents capable of dealing with the world’s uncertainties and unsteadiness in a remarkably fine-grained way, anchored in the body and in the emotions. Because it is coupled to the environment, this being-in-the-world<\/em> is more direct and less dependent on mediators (representations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also encourage readers to watch some of Dreyfus’ great interviews, lectures and talks available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hubert Dreyfus’ “What computers Can’t Do” far\u00e1 50 anos em 2022. Apesar de ter sido lan\u00e7ado h\u00e1 meio s\u00e9culo, ele ainda \u00e9 pertinente quando se trata do gap entre a cogni\u00e7\u00e3o humana e a intelig\u00eancia artificial. Eu gosto da cr\u00edtica de Dreyfus \u00e0 raz\u00e3o artificial principalmente porque ele estava realmente preocupado com a intelig\u00eancia humana, n\u00e3o tanto com a intelig\u00eancia das m\u00e1quinas. O livro (que teve uma segunda edi\u00e7\u00e3o, ampliada, em 1992) \u00e9 muito pertinente para aqueles interessados em compreender alguns dos desafios mais importantes enfrentados pela IA – e que ainda n\u00e3o foram superados. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspirado por fenomen\u00f3logos como Heidegger e Merleau-Ponty, Dreyfus (que infelizmente morreu em 2017 aos 87 anos) defendeu que a intelig\u00eancia humana est\u00e1 muito al\u00e9m da computa\u00e7\u00e3o e da representa\u00e7\u00e3o. Ele sugeriu que somos “skillful copers”, isto \u00e9, agentes corporificados altamente habilidosos capazes de lidar com as incertezas e instabilidades do mundo de uma forma altamente refinada, ancorada no corpo e nas emo\u00e7\u00f5es. Por estar acoplado ao meio ambiente, este being-in-the-world<\/em> \u00e9 mais direto e menos dependente de mediadores (representa\u00e7\u00f5es).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eu tamb\u00e9m encorajo os leitores a assistir algumas das grandes entrevistas e palestras da Dreyfus dispon\u00edveis on-line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
