 The bulk of AI research remains strongly oriented toward producing effective and profitable information processing, whether or not the result offers philosophical understanding. So it is perhaps better not to identify AI with philosophy of mind, though AI has often been guided by philosophical conceptions and aspects of AI have proven fruitful for philosophical exploration. Philosophy of AI and philosophy of mind inspired by and in response to AI, which are not the topic here, have both been far more common than philosophy of mind developed with the techniques of AI.
