what does symbol grounding mean
Symbol grounding is the connection of symbols, such as written or spoken words, with the objects, ideas or events to which they refer.he AI is able to manipulate symbols that have meaning to an outside observer, but it does not have a semantic understanding of the the symbols. Therefore, the AI can not be said to possess consciousness, because it does not actually interpret the symbols or understand to what they refer. It does not achieve semiosis.
