The Eastern Construction of the Artificial Mind

Abstract

In this paper we will analyse the possible similarities and differences between scientists dealing with AI and robotics from the West and those from the East. Another question that arises is: is there such a thing as an AI & robotics paradigm specific to Eastern research? Through the analysis of cultural, philosophical and technical aspects, this research will show that there is no real Eastern model of the artificial mind, although their background ideas have influenced world-wide research in the field deeply.
