# Artificial Thought and Emergent Mind

Ivan M. Havel

*Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 758-765.

## Abstract

We consider the question of whether or not a successful attempt to simulate human (rational) thought on a computer can contribute to our understanding of the mind, including perhaps consciousness. The now fashionable concept of "emergence" may tum out to be more appropriate, but still does not seem to provide a fmal answer .
