The roles of soft computing and fuzzy logic in the conception, design and deployment of intelligent system

Fuzzy information granulation (IG) is central to human reasoning and concept formation. It is this aspect of fuzzy IG that underlies its essential role in the conception and design of intelligent systems. What is conclusive is that there are many tasks which humans can perform with ease and that no machine could perform without the use of fuzzy information granulation. This conclusion has a thought-provoking implication for AI: without the methodology of fuzzy IG in its armamentarium, AI cannot achieve its goals.
