REFLECTIONS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: ISSAC NEWTON

 

In the 21st century, people are beginning to rely on Artificial Intelligence. To what extent eventually for logic and reasoning no one knows.

In the late 17th century and early 20th century, Issac Newton lived. Through his mathematics, he made clear the past, present and future. Because of his calculations, humankind finally could know where a celestial object had been in the deep past, where it would in the present, and where it would be no matter how far in the future. Newton had unlocked knowledge that humankind since it began had lacked until him. Issac Newton’s mind was a kind of “artificial intelligence,” but there was nothing artificial about it. Yet, for his time, his way of thinking was what is now in the 21st century is called Artificial Intelligence.

People in the 21st century now take his intellectual accomplishments casually and for granted. Yet, in his time and for centuries thereafter, the results of his work were and are supremely powerful. There was nothing artificial about his thinking --- it was completely natural. His thinking was akin to a computer --- what we might describe today as “artificial” intelligence.
