Synthetic Intelligence: Fundamentals and Applications

An alternate or opposite name for artificial intelligence is synthetic intelligence (SI), which emphasizes that the intelligence of machines does not have to be an imitation or artificial in any sense, but rather, it can be a true type of intelligence. John Haugeland makes a comparison between synthetic diamonds and simulated diamonds, arguing that only the synthetic diamond can be considered a genuine diamond. Synthetic refers to something that is formed by the process of synthesis, which involves joining pieces to make a whole; in common parlance, synthetic refers to a version that was built by humans of something that occurred naturally. Therefore, a "synthetic intelligence" would be human-made or appear to be developed by humans, but it would not be a simulation.
