Abstract

The article discusses the basic approaches to modeling weak artificial intelligence. The concept of intelligent agents is one of the promising approaches proposed by M. Minsky. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct his ideas regarding principles of consciousness and principles of creating artificial intelligence. The article considers the basic notions of the concept, the structure of consciousness and the structure of memory. Minsky's concept is classified from a philosophical perspective. The conclusion is made that in the ontological terms, with regard to the structural analysis, the concept is a set of approaches of connectionism and elementarism, while with regard to the system analysis, it is a set of a network model and a hierarchical one. Methodologically, the concept is based on the approach of reductionism and the approach using a computer metaphor.
