Hubert Dreyfus is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — American philosopher, phenomenology and critique of artificial intelligence
Dreyfus was a philosopher at MIT and Berkeley who drew on the phenomenology of Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty to mount an influential critique of artificial intelligence, arguing in 'What Computers Can't Do' that human expertise rests on embodied know-how that symbolic AI cannot capture. His arguments shaped debates in cognitive science and the philosophy of mind. He came from a Jewish family.
