***** Special AI Seminar (abstract)

It has been widely recognized that AI programs require expert knowledge in
order to perform well in complex domains. But knowledge alone is not
sufficient for some applications; wisdom is needed as well. Accordingly, we
have developed a new approach to artificial intelligence which we call "wisdom
engineering". As a test of our ideas, we have written IMMANUEL, a wisdom
based system for the task domain of western philosophical thought. IMMANUEL
was supplied initially with 200 wisdom units which contained wisdom about such
elementary concepts as mind, matter, being, nothingness, and so forth.
IMMANUEL was then allowed to run freely, guided by the heuristic rules
contained in its heterarchically organized meta wisdom base. IMMANUEL
succeeded in rediscovering most of the important philosophical ideas developed
in western culture over the course of the last 25 centuries, including those
underlying Plato's theory of government, Kant's metaphysics, Nietzsche's
theory of value, and Husserl's phenomenology. In this seminar, we will
describe IMMANUEL's achievements and internal architecture. We will also
briefly discuss our recent efforts to apply wisdom engineering to oil
exploration.
