While artificial intelligence (AI) has received increased attention, discursive circulation, and practical application over the past decade, it is important to distinguish weak (allopoiesis) AI from strong (autopoiesis) AI. This keyword entry situates the current state of weak AI as well as speculates on the potential future of strong AI, as drawn from science, culture, and philosophy.
