One of the most important events in the twentieth century was the invention of the computer. From the beginning of the computer era, some scientists have held that computers can think and act like human beings. Based on this view, these machines have mind and we are justified to say that these are intelligent machines. Behind this effort, there is a fundamental philosophical attitude. I will argue that: 1) modern philosophy and the most important notion of it, cogito, are foundations of this project which is named Artificial Intelligence; and 2) based on a Foucaultian vision, the hyperbolic version of Artificial Intelligence is impossible.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Cogito, Phenomenology, Transcendental ego, The unthought.
