AI and Structuralism

Structuralism is a view that equates things with the same structure, even if they are seemingly different.

Originally, it can be traced back to Bourbaki's tendency that Mathematics finds similarities between different fields through the structure, and constructs Mathematics itself by the structure backward.

Then there are the achievements of Roman Jakobson who applied it to Linguistics, and Levi Strauss who applied it to Anthropology.

Structuralism in AI tries to bring the same structure to AI, by paying attention to the similarity of AI and Natural Intelligence or the similarity of the intelligence structure common to all organisms.
