The Relationship between Various Approaches to the Mind with the Possibility of Strong Artificial Intelligence

Currently, the theory of strong artificial intelligence stands as a contentious and pivotal idea, having many proponents and opponents. Resolving this issue necessitates taking a stance on the mind-body or soul-body relationship. Diverse perspectives on the possibility or impossibility of strong artificial intelligence emerge from these differing approaches, as articulated by Western and Islamic philosophers of mind. This study employs an analytical-descriptive method to scrutinize the correlation between theories addressing the mind-body problem and the potential for strong artificial intelligence. The findings indicate that not only dualist perspectives but also some quarters of physicalist monism present challenges to the possibility of strong artificial intelligence.
