Some of the premises of logical AI are scientific in the sense that they are subject to scientific verification. The human brain has important innate knowledge, e.g. that the world includes three dimensional objects that usually persist even when not observed. This was learned by evolution. Acquiring such knowledge by learning from sense data will be quite hard. It is better to build it into AI systems.
Different animals have different innate knowledge.
Dogs know about permanent objects and will look for them when they are hidden. Very likely, cockroaches don't know about objects. Identifying human innate knowledge has been the subject of recent psychological research. In particular, babies and dogs know innately that there are permanent objects and look for them when they go out of sight. We'd better build that in.
