Have you seen the new Q on which new descriptions for the AI site are being proposed and voted upon? (ai.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1430/…) Those involved could probably benefit from reading your opinion there. | |
| Sep 14, 2018 at 1:22 | comment | added | John Doucette | I second @mindcrime's view: A lot of the problems on this site are rooted in misunderstandings about the scope of AI. AI is not just machine learning, and it's not just data science. Those make up a disproportionate share of the field in the last 5-10 years, but before that were just one small subfield among many. There is currently no technical site that answers questions about AI. We should be accepting such questions here if we're going to sit on the AI.se name. | |

| Sep 6, 2016 at 20:09 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | I understand the social thing but not so much the scientific focus. Could you maybe elaborate a bit more on what would be scientific aspects of AI or Advanced Computing? Also a better definition of the borders of AI science towards mathematics, statistics or computer algorithms would be nice. | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 15:19 | comment | added | mindcrime Mod | There's no technical implementation site for Artificial Intelligence in the general sense. Some specific topics are on-topic at ds.se or stats.se, but hardly the entire body of AI. Taking this insanely hard-line stance against programming / implementation questions is going to be bad for this site. If that's the case, let's change the name to "AI philosophy" or "AI fluff". | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 14:30 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | @FranckDernoncourt Typically they belong on Math or Stats (Cross Validated) or DataScience which were specifically created for these subjects. This site was created to handle the scientific and social/cultural interests that (prior to this site) did not have a place in our network. | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 14:13 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | Thanks. Does mathematical or statistical questions count as technical implementation? (from your comment I guess so, but just to be sure) | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 14:10 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | @FranckDernoncourt Programmers, engineers, and other practitioners asking how to actually implement AI processes. This is not a technical site. | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 13:54 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | What do you mean by technical implementation? | |
