Can a machine (aka computer) know something/anything?

Epistemology (/ɪˌpɪstɪˈmɒlədʒi/ ; from Greek ἐπιστήμη, epistēmē 'knowledge', and -logy) is the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge. Epistemologists study the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge, epistemic justification, the rationality of belief, and various related issues. Epistemology is considered one of the four main branches of philosophy, along with ethics, logic, and metaphysics. It is the branch of philosophy dealing with the study of knowledge, the theory of knowledge. Epistemologists ask questions such as "What is knowledge?", "How is it acquired?", "What do people know?", "How do people know what they know?"

Artificial epistemology is the theory of machine knowledge especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope. We ask, "What is machine knowledge?", "How is machine knowledge acquired?", "What do machines know?", "How do machines know what they know?"

Our company, Artificial Epistemology, conceives and develops intelligent machine applications primarily for the medical device and pharmaceutical industry that improve the safety and efficacy of new medical devices, pharmaceuticals and therapies. Ranging from automating surgical procedures through the application of robotics to accelerating the drug discovery process by automating/simulating biological & chemical reactions we are revolutionizing and defining the future of medical science. Further, through the use of AI/ML applications coupled with the latest technical advances in genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics we are discovering signals heretofore buried within the noise of clinical trial results.

At Artificial Epistemology we leverage what machines "know" to extend and enhance what humans "know" in order to significantly improve health and well being.
