Artificial intuition
Encyclopedia
Artificial intuition is the capacity for an artifice to function with intuition, a machine-based system that has some capacity to function analogous to human intuition.

Comparison

Conventional human intuition is a function of the human mind as defined particularly by the psychologist and psychiatrist Carl Jung
Carl Jung
Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and the founder of Analytical Psychology. Jung is considered the first modern psychiatrist to view the human psyche as "by nature religious" and make it the focus of exploration. Jung is one of the best known researchers in the field of dream analysis and...

 (et al.). Jean Piaget, another psychologist, showed that intuitive functioning within the normally (typically) developing human child occurred from four to seven years of age at the Intuitive Thought Substage of the preoperational stage. In the C.Jung concept of synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance and that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner...

, the concept of intuitive intelligence is described as something like a capacity that transcends ordinary level functioning to understand information with depth that is unavailable to rational thinking. Artificial intuition is theoretically or otherwise a sophisticated function of an artifice, able to interpret data with depth and locate hidden factors, functioning in Gestalt
Gestalt psychology
Gestalt psychology or gestaltism is a theory of mind and brain of the Berlin School; the operational principle of gestalt psychology is that the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies...

, and that intuition in the artificial mind would in the context described here be a bottom-up process upon a macroscopic scale identifying something like the archetypal.( see τύπος ).To create artificial intuition supposses the possibility of the re-creation of a higher functioning of the human mind with capabiliites such as that which might be found in semantic memory
Semantic memory
Semantic memory refers to the memory of meanings, understandings, and other concept-based knowledge unrelated to specific experiences. The conscious recollection of factual information and general knowledge about the world is generally thought to be independent of context and personal relevance...

In science, cognition refers to mental processes. These processes include attention, remembering, producing and understanding language, solving problems, and making decisions. Cognition is studied in various disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science...

The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals—only a few primitive invertebrates such as sponges, jellyfish, sea squirts and starfishes do not have one. It is located in the head, usually close to primary sensory apparatus such as vision, hearing,...
