Abstract
This article discusses the role artificial intelligence techniques can play in developing sociological theories. First, artificial intelligence is briefly introduced, and key features that distinguish this from other computing approaches are identified. Then several recent attempts to employ artificial intelligence programming strategies to assist in theory construction in sociology are described to illustrate the variety of contributions artificial intelligence can bring to sociological theorizing. Finally, some of the future prospects for artificial intelligence and sociological theorizing are discussed.
