Hubert Dreyfus was an American philosopher known for his work in existentialism, phenomenology, and the philosophy of mind. Born on October 15, 1929, he was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and gained prominence for his critiques of artificial intelligence and the limitations of computer models in replicating human understanding. Dreyfus argued that human expertise relies on embodied experience and intuition, which cannot be fully captured by algorithms. His influential book, What Computers Still Can't Do, challenged the assumptions of the AI community and emphasized the importance of context and human experience in cognition.
