This submission supports the thesis of convergence between epistemology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) program. This is called the engineering turn of epistemology and is part of the trend of naturalization in the study of knowledge and the process of knowing. The exposure is deployed in three stages. The first one is about the struggle between the logical approach and psychologistic approach. The second one appeal to trace an historical view of epistemology and introduces the concept of “exosomatization of knowing”. Finally, the third stage addresses the engineering turn itself. At last, an open conclusion arises in terms of questions about the future of science, arguing that nowadays science is just passing through an early stage, in some kind of transition equivalent to that experienced in manufacture during the Industrial Revolution.
