{"type":"ScholarlyArticle","title":"On a Scientific Discipline (Once) Named AI","authors":[{"name":"Wolfgang Bibel","slug":"wolfgang-bibel","given":"Wolfgang","family":"Bibel","affiliation":"Darmstadt University of Technology"}],"abstract":"The paper envisions a scientific discipline of fundamental importance comparable to Physics or Biology, reminding that a discipline of such a contour was originally intended by the founders of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI today, however, is far from such an encompassing discipline sharing the respective research interests with at least half a dozen of other disciplines. After the analysis of this situation and its background we discuss the consequences of this splintering by means of selected challenges. We deliberate thereby what could be done to alleviate the disadvantages resulting from the current state of affairs and to leverage AI's current prominence in the public attention to re-engage in the field's broader mission.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2018/713","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2018/713","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2018/0713.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2018/713.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2018/bibtex/713","volume":{"slug":"2018","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2018","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2018/","year":2018,"location":"Stockholm","dates":"13-19 July 2018","editors":"Jérôme Lang","isbn":"978-0-9992411-2-7","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2018"},"section":"Evolution of the contours of AI","track":"Evolution of the contours of AI","number":713,"pages":{"first":5143,"last":5149},"keywords":["Humans and AI: Ethical Issues in AI"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Baars and Gage, 2010] Bernard J.
