Abstract

Artificial intelligence forms an intrinsic aspect of the competence of fifth generation computers in view of the need for them to be primarily knowledge processing systems. We analyse in this paper how this need for knowledge processing arises. In the main body of the paper various issues that arise in knowledge representation and use are discussed. The point of departure for these discussions is the recent work on expert systems. We point out the difference between tacit and propositionizable knowledge and argue the need for modelling tacit knowledge also in fifth generation computers.
