Exact Epistemology and Artificial Intelligence

A system of concepts and principles of exact epistemology (EE) is formulated, which is understood to be the means of acquiring new knowledge through heuristics that use an ordered set of plausible reasoning strategies. The result of their application to sequences of expandable fact bases is empirical regularities that replenish the knowledge bases of intelligent systems (ISs), which are a constructive means of achieving the principles of exact epistemology, the main concept of which is the definition of theoretical intelligence. We consider the JSM method of automated research support, which uses the interaction of induction, analogy, and abduction as a constructive method of exact epistemology for acquiring new knowledge through intelligent systems. The problems of the formation and development of artificial intelligence in Russia are discussed.
