In this work, the understanding of artificial intelligence as a project, the theory and the totality of specific applications (so-called intellectual systems) differs; the analysis of the most important problem of artificial intelligence - the problem of computer representation of knowledge; the main stages of the development of the theory of artificial intelligence - classical, nonclassical and post-nonclassical - are analyzed and compared with the corresponding types of scientific rationality.
