Ask HN: Heideggerian AI / Foucaultian AI?
Given the recent Turing Test falsehoods and HN discussions about liberal arts degrees, I was hoping someone around HN might be able to point in the direction of AI research.
In particular, I am wondering if there have been any explorations of AI with Continental Philosophy at their core. I found a particularly interesting paper by the (in)famous Dreyfus that offered Heideggerian AI, but little else[1].
Foucault's work on the relativistic nature of ontologies would seem relevant[2], but again, current AI efforts appear rather empty with regard to the rather rich fabric of the Continental Philosophers.
Any tips or suggestions?

[2] The heuristic engine mentioned in Crevier's tome on AI has some interesting overlaps here. Less about limited context game playing, and more about abstract heuristics and learning. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/0465001041
