Abstract
. Many who give definitions of AI offer narrow views based either on their own work area or the pronouncement of an AI guru about the scope of AI. Looking at the range of research in AI conferences, books, journals and laboratories suggests something very broad and deep, going beyond engineering objectives and the study or replication of human capabilities. This exploration of the space of possible designs for behaving systems (design space) and the relationships between designs and various collections of requirements and constraints (niche space) is inherently multi-disciplinary, and includes not only study of architectures, mechanisms, formalisms, inference systems, and the like (aspects of natural and artificial designs), but also the attempt to characterise diverse behavioural capabilities and the environments in which they are required, or possible. The implications of such a study are profound: e.g. for engineering, for biology, for psychology, for philosophy, and for our view of...
