The Metaphysical Roots of Artificial Intelligence

There will be three main parts in the presentation. In the first part, I
will describe the general characteristics of AI.  In the second part, I
will defend the idea that AI is the result of the seventeenth
century's great scientific revolution. I will explain five main stages
in the emergence of the modern conception of AI. In the third part, I
will describe the main challenges in AI and propose some solutions to
the challenges from the perspective of formal ontology.
