Why "Synthetic" Intelligence?

Based on philosopher John Haugeland's distinction:

  • "Artificial" implies "not real" or fake
  • "Synthetic" implies "created by intelligent agency" — like synthetic diamonds being real diamonds

Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Reinforcement Learning are REAL technologies that exist and do real work in the world. They deserve recognition as genuine, not imitation.

"If 'data is the new oil' then Synthetic Intelligence spans the value chain from the oil well to the internal combustion engine!"
