If man is to get PoAI right, necessarily a PoAI is, simultaneously a Philosophy of Man, as such a Philosophy of a Reasoned, equivalently Rational-Intentioned Man (PoRM). The question then is, what are the parameters that, ideally ought to be imposed on a PoAI that has qualification, simultaneously as a component of a PoRM? Stated somewhat differently, we arrive at the following question, namely:

With PoRM in tow, what exactly are the candidate boundaries that can, or ought to be imposed on a Rational Intentionality of Man (RoM), in this specific instance, on a Rational Implementation of AI (RoAI), such that the progression to AI is bounded by a robustly formulated PoAI?

There exist lots of boundaries that can be imposed on a RoM, such as, “is it an expression of a Virtue of Man (VoM)?” But that question leads to a bottomless cesspool of heterogeneity of opinions, not only on what exactly constitutes a VoM, but also on how exactly to apply the VoM to the formulation of a…
