Wittgenstein, Turing e l’IA. Un’intervista a ChatGPT
Abstract
In this paper we offer a contribution on the recent debate related to artificial intelligence and in particular to the influence of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language on the notion of computability of the precursor of today’s AI, Alan Turing. The aim is not to reconstruct this relationship historically, but to demonstrate how current artificial intelligence and specifically the most recent chat bots are the demonstration of the applicability of Wittgenstein’s language-game theory. In conclusion, as a consequence of the application of Wittgenstenian models to AI, a comparison between human linguistic-cognitive skills and ChatGPT’s AI is proposed, demonstrating how communication and sharing of human experiences are mainly based on the ability to express concepts through language and other symbolic means, capabilities of both sapiens with vocal articulation and next-generation language machines.
