Ez volt a konferencia címe: "Emulating the mind". És arról szól a dolog, hogy a pszichoanalítikai törvényszerűségeket egy programba foglalják, ami így azokat szimulálja.

[i]"Disappointments of artificial intelligence
To Dietmar Dietrich, Vorstand of the institute for computer
engineering DO Vienna, referred to disappointed hopes of artificial intelligence (AI).
"we research for many years for the automation of complex control systems. AI did not bring the desired results. The neuropsychoanalytische model of the psyche appears to us meanwhile as many more meaningful ", so Dietrich.
Fodor explains it in such a way: "Freud observed and described the psychological apparatus due to its functions. While it did not know the biological korrelat yet, it concerns exactly in the current neuro psychoanalysis."
Simulation of functions instead of artificial neuron nets
And that is also, which interests the computer scientists around Dietrich. The research to artificial intelligence proceeded much too much in the past from the hardware side - the neurons and/or transistors.
Now the entire psychological apparatus is to be taken under the magnifying glass - as it were the software - including the topology Freuds with I, it and practicing Erich.
With the divided knowledge the computer model of a mental apparatus is to develop. Artificial neural nets do not stand thereby in the center, but the simulation of the psychological functions."[i]
