We examine how much of the contemporary progress in artificial intelligence (and, specifically, in natural language processing), can be, more or less directly, traced back to the seminal work and ideas of the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, with particular focus on his late views. Discussing Wittgenstein's original theses will give us the chance to survey the state of artificial intelligence, and comment on both its strengths and weaknesses. A similar text appeared first in Spanish as a chapter of CENTENARIO DEL SILENCIO (2021), a book celebrating 100 years since the publication of the Tractatus.

翻译：本文探讨当代人工智能（特别是自然语言处理领域）的进展在多大程度上可直接或间接追溯至奥地利-英国哲学家路德维希·维特根斯坦的开创性工作与思想，重点关注其后期观点。通过讨论维特根斯坦的原创性论题，我们将有机会审视人工智能的发展现状，并评述其优势与局限。本文西班牙语原版曾作为《百年沉默》（CENTENARIO DEL SILENCIO，2021）一书的章节出版，该书旨在纪念《逻辑哲学论》发表100周年。
