FORMATION AND ESSENCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: HISTORICAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS

Abstract

This article comprehensively analyzes the formation of artificial intelligence, its historical roots, technological development, and philosophical essence. The study examines the connection between the idea of artificial intelligence and ancient mythological concepts, Greek philosophy, particularly the views of Plato and Aristotle, as well as the teachings of Islamic thinkers such as Al-Farabi and Avicenna. In addition, the influence of modern rationalist philosophy and mechanistic thinking on the development of the concept of artificial intelligence is revealed. The article also discusses modern technological foundations such as machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, as well as the practical application of artificial intelligence in medicine, education, finance, and industry. Furthermore, philosophical issues such as the modeling of human consciousness, the differences between machine and human thinking, ethical responsibility, and the social consequences of artificial intelligence are analyzed. The study concludes that artificial intelligence should be understood not only as a technological phenomenon, but also as the result of a long historical and philosophical evolution.
