Abstract: Under the theme of aspect-perception, Wittgenstein uses the image of “aspect-blind” to respond to the issues of mind-body relations, other minds and whether artificial intelligence could think like human beings. It can be said that symbolic artificial intelligence is a typical image of the aspect-blind, it can only operate symbols according to formal rules, and lacks inner life and emotional experience. According to Wittgenstein's philosophy of perception, artificial intelligence, as an aspect-blind, faces fundamental difficulties in social interaction, cannot truly participate in language games, and can't share human beings' form of life. However, it remains an open question to what degree artificial intelligence could come closer to human intelligence.

Key words: aspect-perception; aspect-blind; artificial intelligence; form of life
