Abstract
In its two parts, this study intends to reconstruct with some detail
the fiasco of the Artificial Intelligence research project and the
devastating critique carried out against it by Hubert Dreyfus in his
magnum opus What Computers Still Can’t Do (1972, 1979, 1992). Part
of these consequences is the emergence within this specialized field
of a group of scholars who have called themselves ‘Heideggerian’.
This definition shall be dealt with and criticized in the second part of
this study. In this first part, we go on to analize (i) the bizarre dreams
and false expectations of AI researchers, and (ii) Dreyfus’ own
criticism and its definitive thrust of phenomenological nature.
