The Symbol Grounding Problem and AI (1)

The biggest challenge of AI construction by Symbolism is The Symbol Grounding Problem. "Signifiant/Signifié" was a story of the correspondence inside the human mind. On the other hand, The Symbol Grounding Problem is a problem of the correspondence of the symbols with the real environment.

Symbol Grounding means that the part of the real world environment is mapped to a symbol. *

*: For example, the word "chair" can be defined as a thing to sit on which has four legs. It can correspond to one independent chair, but it cannot answer as to whether a sofa in a Ferris wheel is a chair, whether a folded chair is a chair, or whether something like a big rubber ball is a chair. In front of the diverse possibilities of reality, a symbol is always helpless to cover them entirely, like a small blanket.
