Some Logical Aspects of the Concept of Artificial Intelligence

The paper proposes a logical definition of the concept of artificial intelligence (AI), based on sufficiency predicates, by moving from genus to species. The nature of the intra contingent need for AI, respectively the logical characteristics of AI, is shown. The digital/analogical relationship is discussed and, on this basis, issues in the AI "zone" such as: conscious/subconscious, free will, self-learning are examined. Finally, the issue of human protection against AI is assessed, respectively that of AI protection against humans and AI itself.
