The Ontology of the Mind’s Creativity and the Language of Artificial Intelligence

Ontology is that branch of metaphysics that probes into the nature of being or reality. Reality here covers a broad range of abstract supra-sensible entities as well as concrete ones. The mind is an all-important layer of reality where thinking, intelligence, reasoning and cognition take place. As abstract as the mind is, it wields enormous predominant influence on existent entities. The human mind is therefore, at the heart of the creative development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with an algorithmic language making it able to carry out computational tasks faster than human mind. This paper critically attempted to unravel the creative nature of the mind as well as what it can accomplished with AI as its offshoot. The aim is to point at how Artificial Intelligence being the mind’s creative ability, has redefined reality including virtual reality. The paper further explored the relationship between the mind and artificial intelligence from the perspective of “abstract to concrete” connection. The major finding of the paper is that, the mind has endless possibilities that can be transmitted into concrete realities aiding in the sustainable progress and development of the human society. Hence, because AI lacks consciousness, intentionality, and subjective experience, it becomes subservient to Human Intelligence which is an outstanding feature of the human mind.
