The concept of AI achieving human-like thought, termed “the singularity,” raises philosophical and computational questions. While some believe AI’s potential aligns with the theory of computation and Turing’s universality, limitations persist. Current AI, like ChatGPT, lacks logical understanding, highlighting the disparity between data-driven models and deductive reasoning. Abduction, a method for scientific theory development, challenges AI evaluation via the Turing test, which overlooks internal mechanisms and responsibility. The pursuit of true AI necessitates transcending empirical and inductive approaches, embracing explanatory theories, and acknowledging AI’s likely philosophical origins.
