With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI),the “philosophy of AI”has sparked a series of intense academic discussions.However,current debates often exhibit a reactive or lagging character,primarily centering on the demarcation between humans and machines.The concept of “philosophical AI” emphasizes the bidirectional shaping between philosophy and AI.It highlights both the indispensable role of philosophy in the evolution of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the potential for AI-driven modes of thinking to facilitate the development of philosophy itself.Utilizing the “Philosopher's AI Assistant ” platform,this study presents a virtual debate between Prof.Sun Xiangchen and an AI Agent representing a renowned contemporary philosopher as a case study.This example concretely demonstrates the potential developmental space and inherent challenges of philosophical AI,ultimately pointing toward a stance of “co-working between philosophy and AI”.
