Artificial intelligence (Al) and geography are brought together within a broad context involving fundamental issues of theory, epistemology and scientific method. The little known logico-mathematical background of Al is explored and shown to have substantial implications for modeling in general, prediction, the interpretation of theoretical structures, and our understanding of science itself. These more abstract aspects of the “computational revolution,”of which Al is one product, could have far-reaching consequences for geographic research.
