Abstract:
Under the current upsurge of cross-disciplinary research between artificial intelligence （AI） and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， the inheritance of academic thought in TCM is confronted with the deep-seated predicament of cognitive paradigm dislocation. The existing AI model is based on the classical reasoning mode of formal logic and statistical probability， which is difficult to adapt to the nonlinear and holistic cognitive logic of TCM with image-based thinking and syndrome-differentiated treatment as the core， resulting in systematic misreading and loss of the core essence in digital inheritance. Based on this， this paper proposes to construct a new cognitive model oriented towards the context of TCM. Its essence is not to have AI imitate the thinking of TCM， but to establish an auxiliary understanding framework based on semantic mapping and relational reasoning. It is advocated that the role of AI should be reconstructed from a knowledge substitute to a clinical interactor， and its application boundary in the inheritance of TCM wisdom should be clarified. By establishing the theoretical framework and practical path of human-computer collaboration， this paper aims to provide a scientific basis for realizing the deep integration of AI technology and the academic thought in TCM.
