Well,

Original 80s AI was based on mathematical logic. And while that might not encompass all philosophy, it certainly was a product of philosophy broadly speaking - some analytical philosophers could endorse. But it definitely failed and failed because it could process uncertainty (imo). I think also if you closely, classical philosophy wasn't particularly amenable to uncertainty either.

If anything, I would say that AI has inherited its failure from philosophy's failure and we should look to alternative approaches (from Cybernetics to Bergson to whatever) for a basis for it.
