Künstliche Intelligenz, quo vadis?

This paper outlines the state of the art in AI. It then describes basic machine learning and knowledge processing techniques. Based on this, some possibilities and limitations of future AI developments are discussed.

Consciousness and Automated Reasoning

This paper aims at demonstrating how a first-order logic reasoning system in combination with a large knowledge base can be understood as an artificial consciousness system. For this we review some aspects from the area of philosophy of mind and in particular Baars' Global Workspace Theory. This will be applied to the reasoning system Hyper with ConceptNet as a knowledge base. Finally we demonstrate that such a system is very well able to do conscious mind wandering.
