Abstract

This chapter addresses several central meta-theoretical issues of AI and AGI. After analyzing the nature of the field, three criteria for desired theories are proposed: correctness, concreteness, and compactness. The criteria are clarified in the AI context, and using them, the current situation in the field is evaluated.
