Toward metascience via human-level AI with metacognition

摘要

Rosenbloom gave reasons why Computing should be considered as a fourth great domain of science, along with the Physical sciences, Life sciences, and Social sciences. This paper considers Metascience as the future, fifth great domain of science, and discusses reasons why metascience may be closely related to metacognition in human intelligence and human-level artificial intelligence, suggesting that the representation and processing which could support an AI system’s metacognition could also support an AI system reasoning metascientifically about domains of science.
